About St. John United Church of Christ
-
Welcome to St. John, a church committed to providing a Christian community with worship, fellowship, and education for people of all ages. Offering a wide array of programs, organizations and worship experiences, the St. John congregation has been “serving the heart of St. Charles since 1868.”
Our Mission
Our mission is to nurture spiritual growth and share the message of Jesus Christ by word and deed in our community and beyond. We are here to serve, to welcome, and to love.
Our Vision
Our vision is to live God's message of love and compassion in our daily lives. To engage all of our members we will gradually change the worship service to incorporate richer and varied worship styles and music. We will honor the traditions developed at St. John while adapting to meet the interests and needs of all members. We will respond quickly and passionately to people in need and we will engage members of all ages to work together in ministry and mission. We will find ways to make our historic church beautiful to all who visit-through the warmth of our members and the beauty and functionality of our facilities.
