Who we are
Welcome to St. John African Methodist Episcopal Church, "The Church at the Caring End of Ministry". God has blessed us to become a vibrant and growing congregation. Our goal is to provide opportunities for spiritual growth in our congregation, as well as the larger community.
If you have not already accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, then we extend to you an invitation to begin your spiritual journey with us here at St. John. It would be a blessing to have you.
If you have already begun the journey, then we invite you to come and worship with us. We would be blessed to have you as part of our family.
These are exciting times for the ministry, mission and vision of St. John African Methodist Episcopal Church. God has done, is doing and will continue to do new things for our church community, and for that we give thanks. Eyes have not seen, ears have not heard what God has in store for us.
Shalom! Jesse D. Hawkins Jr., Senior Pastor
