All are welcome!The Episcopal Church of St. John the Evangelist is committed to sharing the Good News that God's love is for ALL people, regardless of anything! There is nothing that you can be or do that can separate you from the reconciling love of God. This is what Jesus' entire mission was all about! We really are a church who believes that ALL people are made in the image and likeness of God, and that God does not make mistakes in making us. We celebrate God's wonderful gift of diversity and Jesus' gift of radically inclusive love! The Episcopal Church has made clear that all the Sacraments are to made available to ALL people. This includes marriage and ordination of LGBTQ+ people. Come join us as we seek to be the hands, and feet, and heart of Jesus!
