Praise the Lord and welcome to St John Baptist Church! On be-half of the entire St John family, allow me to take this opportuni-ty to thank our friends, guests & members for choosing to help us lift up the name of Jesus here today. We say to you who are unsaved, “Join Jesus!” To you who are seeking a church home, “Join us in membership”, as we seek to make disciples for Jesus Christ. Pastor Robert Turner
OUR VISION
To be “A Christ -
Centered Church,
Making a Difference
for Jesus Christ in the
Church, Community,
Home & Workplace.”
We respectfully ask that no food or drink be brought or eaten in the sanctuary.

OUR MISSION To be a thriving spiritual center that reaches people for
Christ and builds believers to be Christ-like. (Matthew 28:19-20; Jude 1:20-21)
“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with he measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Luke 6:38
The Youth Retreat was an success. We had 28 students who attended. They learned about God, racism, spiritual journeys and more. They participated in team building activities,
zip line, elevated obstacle course, pedal carts and more.
The students left with a better relationship with God and new friends.

Let’s Worship God With Our Tithe And An Offering A tithe is 10% of your income. An offering is any amount you give over and above that amount. Tithing is God’s minimum standard, the starting point! As God prospers you, you will want to give more. Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken to-gether, and running over. Luke 6:38.
