The Vision Takes Form

"Enlarge the place of your tent and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out;  hold not back, lengthen your stakes.  For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left, and your descendants will possess the nations and will people the desolate cities."

-- Isaiah 34:2,3

Grace, Mercy, Peace and Love from God our Father through Jesus Christ our Lord!

As Pastor of this Church, it is my responsibility to be a visionary.  I must put into vision what I believe is the will of God for St. John through his Word.  My vision is one of sharing the Word of God through preaching and teaching with the intent of leading souls to Christ, and helping those who are in Christ to grow into spiritual maturity.  In order to bring this vision into fruition, I am also responsible for providing adequate facilities of accomplish this task.

Since my tenure began, we have experienced tremendous growth.  Because we will continue to grow, the effectiveness of our ministry depends on trained leadership, practical programs, and ministries that meet the needs of our congregants and the community, and adequate space and facilities to meet the ministries'  demands.  Because our present facilities are inadequate to meet the growing demands of this ministry, I believe that now is the time to address these issues.

Once to any people comes an opportunity to make a difference.  History shows that when a body of people are called by God's Name were determined to move ahead...   something happened!  Now it is our turn to bring about change for His glory and for the good of His people!

I remain
