Welcome to St. John's!

We Episcopalians believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We are members of The Episcopal Church in the United States, as constituent members of the Anglican Communion, we are descendants of and partners with the Church of England and the Scottish Episcopal Church, and are part of the third largest group of Christians in the world. In Minnesota, we are part of the Episcopal Church of Minnesota.

We worship together at 9:30 am every Sunday morning. You are invited to join us and learn more about this faithful, loving community dedicated to serving God and our neighbors.

What We Believe

"If it's not about love, it's not about God!"

Bishop Michael Curry

1

We believe in following the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the world.

We have a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being; women and men serve as bishops, priests, and deacons in our church. Laypeople and clergy cooperate as leaders at all levels of our church. Leadership is a gift from God and can be expressed by all people in our church, regardless of sexual identity or orientation.

2

We believe that God loves you – no exceptions.

The mission of the church, as stated in the Book of Common Prayer’s catechism (p. 855), is “to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ.” As part of that mission, we’re following Jesus into loving, liberating and life-giving relationship with God, with each other and with the earth as the Episcopal branch of the Jesus Movement. We seek every day to love God with our whole heart, mind and soul, and to love our neighbors as ourselves (Matthew 22:36-40).
