Welcome to St. John's
Believe this simple truth: God loves you, no matter who you are. No matter how you have lived your life. No matter your age. No strings attached. At St. John's, we believe in God's transforming love. Like Jesus, we believe God's Spirit working through us can give life meaning and purpose. Our greatest desire is that you experience how much God loves you and wants to be a part of your life.

Receive a Blessing
On your Home
We know how much work goes into making a home. St. John's would like to offer God's blessing on your family and your house/apartment at no cost and with no string attached. It's our way of letting you know how much God wants to make a home with you. House blessings are child-friendly (they are great at getting rid of the scary things that come out at night!) and can be done with just the members of your household or in the midst of a party with friends.
On your Child
As a parent, you've just experienced the miracle of new life. Why not ask for some divine intervention for the days, months and years ahead? St. John's would like to offer God's blessing on you and your newborn at no cost and with no strings attached. We will even come to hospital if you like! It's our way of letting you know how precious you and your child are in the eyes of God.
