Join Us For A New Watchnight Experience on December 31st!!

On Monday night, December 31st, from 9 pm to Midnight, join us for a new watchnight experience. Instead of a traditional watchnight service, we’re honored to host a different kind of watchnight experience.

Nation Tyre, a nationally known male illusionist (from the documentary, “M.I.”), has asked to use St. John’s as the venue to host a “Gospel Drag New Year’s Extravaganza.” Nation has invited well known personalities outside of North Carolina who want to be a part of this with us. As Nation said, “they don’t want to be in the bar this year to bring in the new year … but they will fly in from all over to be here, at St. John’s, to bring in the new year here and celebrate what God has and is doing in their lives!”

This will be a tapestry of personal testimonies, spiritual discoveries and expressions of these experiences through drag performances.

The Extravaganza will be from 9 pm to Midnight on the 31st. As we have done with previous drag shows at St. John’s, any and all proceeds from the show will be used to benefit the ministries of St. John’s MCC. YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS this beginning to the New Year! See you there!

The performers of this year's Gospel Drag Show in September had so much that they wanted to come back and do it again! 

St. John's MCC invites you to come join us for our Holiday Drag Extravaganza to be held on next Sunday night (December 16th) at 7:00 pm. 

All tips generated by the performers will go towards the ministries of St. John's MCC. Join us once again as we prove that God has a sense of humor.

It's that time again! Time for St. John's annual NC Pride Gospel Drag Show. Join us on Sunday night, September 30th as we conclude the weekend's festivities in style! The show will begin at 7:00 p.m. in the sanctuary. Several local drag kings and queens will be performing along with other members and friends of St. John's. You don't want to miss it! Come out and tip the performers for their hard work. All tips raised will go to support the ministries of St. John's.

In addition, there will be a 50/50 raffle the night of the show. Tickets will be available after both worship services on Sunday and up until showtime Sunday night. 50% of the proceeds raised will go to the winner and the other 50% will benefit the ministries of St. John's.

Video: Faith in Action 2012 Sunday Worship Service

preaching by Senior Pastor Rev. Brendan Y. Boone

Celebration! • 10:00 am
just a few feet from Moore Square • Raleigh

On Sunday, July 29th, St. John’s MCC officially left the building! We moved our celebration worship service to a parking lot next to Moore Square in Downtown Raleigh. Hundreds of people who live in and around that area joined us for worship and for the social justice efforts that followed.

If you couldn’t make it to the service, here’s the video.
