Vision

The Book of Common Prayer says that the mission of the church is “to restore all people to unity with God and with each other in Christ.”  

St. John’s seeks to live into this mission in the following ways:

• We are oriented toward wholeness, but in our human condition we are separate and incomplete.  St. John’s strives for healing and unity.

• The healing restoration we practice is not only individual but also communal and universal.

• Union with God is our destiny no matter who we are.  St. John’s invites all to join on the journey.

• We share the spiritual energy of love that brings this union within reach.  This energy has been revealed and entrusted to us through Jesus Christ.

• Following Jesus, we practice this Way of Love in the place where we are, as the people we are, with the others God has called to life with us.

• Our mission of wholeness is not confined to a specialized sphere called “religion.”  We practice it in human life in all its dimensions.
