First of all, welcome
to the "cyber presence" of our congregation. No matter who you are, your
beliefs, your doubts, your lifestyle, your nationality, your size, your eye
color or your favorite music you are welcome among us.
We are a congregation diverse in opinion but common in our
commitment to Christ and one another. The accessibility of our building
reflects the accessibility of our acceptance. Our worship services and
bulletins are designed for visitors; we make a concerted effort to print
everything necessary to follow the order of service, announce all the hymns and
the "standing ups" and "sitting downs" and so on. It is important to us
that visitors especially feel welcomed and included.

We are a congregation of the
United Church of Christ
, a denomination formed in 1957
by the merger of the Evangelical and Reformed Churches and the
Congregational Christian Churches. St. John's itself precedes the denomination
having been formed in 1868 as a congregation of the German Evangelical Synod of
North America, a forerunner of the Evangelical part of the Evangelical and
Reformed Churches. It is the UCC logo that you see as the
"wallpaper".
Our
building is a one-level,
crescent-shaped structure with a natural, fieldstone wall forming the entire
inner curve with a stone baptismal font, communion table and pulpit
and a unique asymmetrical cross at the front. We invite you to
stop by to see our building and, if you wish, to spend some quiet time in
our sanctuary.
If you have any questions, please feel
free to call the church at (920) 994-4425.
