Statement, St. John's discerns its highest priorities in the next three years are the
following:
1. To learn more about who we are as a local congregation, as members
of the Diocese of San Diego, as members of The Episcopal Church, and as members of the Anglican
Communion.
2. To tell our story more effectively to the local community,
especially to new families.
3. To strengthen relationships between the St. John's church
community and the St. John's school community.
4. To continue to develop the various outreach programs that are an
important part of the parish.
5. To grow as a parish in terms of membership, leadership, and
stewardship (time, talent and treasure).
Thank you for visiting our
website. We hope you'll also visit our church. If you do, you'll be joining people who are called to follow God in Christ through love, worship, and
service in a nurturing community where all are welcome.
A look around our site will give you an idea of the work we do
together at St. John's. But the single most important
thing about our church, at this moment, is that you are visiting our web site. Do you really
think that's just a coincidence? What are you searching for? How is the God who created you and us
alive in your life right now?
Perhaps you, and we, will find that we are
called to answer those questions together. We hope so! If you have any questions
about St. John's or the Episcopal Church please contact any member of the clergy or
vestry.
For now, wherever you are on your journey of faith, may our loving God bless
you and those whose lives you touch, this day and forever.
We hope you will find this website helpful as you look through the pages. We have
included links to the clergy, staff, ministries' leaders, San Diego Diocese and Episcopal
Church.
