OUR IDENTITY
Who we are...
-
We are gospel-centred: St John’s Church is a church built on the foundation of Jesus Christ. Jesus is central in how we make decisions, what we say and the actions we take. 1 Corinthians 3:11 “For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.”
-
We are a worshipping community: We were created for a relationship with God and others. Our worship together is an expression of our relationship. Ephesians 5:19-20, “…instead, be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
-
We are a diverse, loving community: The salvation message of John 3:16 is a reminder that the gospel of Jesus Christ is for EVERYONE. St John’s Church is diverse and offers the love of God to everyone in our community.
