A Message from the Senior Pastor

Beloved In Christ,

What an absolute joy and honor it is for me to welcome you to St. John’s Metropolitan Community Church! St. John’s MCC is a diverse faith community of members, regular attendees and friends who are devoted to becoming Disciples of and for Jesus Christ, in the church, in our community and in the world!

As followers of the Christ Way (that is the way of Love), we believe that the core of our mission and ministry as a church is the Great Commission: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Creator, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19-20). Simply put, we believe that God has called us to a three-prong ministry; namely “Proclaiming Christ, Building Community and Transforming Lives” and we strive to fulfill this call each day by “finding them, bringing them in, growing them up and sending them out” in Jesus’ name. We are excited to share this Welcome Guide with you, for you are God’s reminder to us of the ministry God has entrusted to us and has called us to fulfill.

On behalf of the members of St John’s MCC, it is our desire to serve and be of service to God by ministering to and with you. In every way, my prayer is that you will be open to and allow the Spirit of God to speak to your heart and that the warmth, welcome and atmosphere of love, care and compassion that you encounter through this community of faith will renew and refresh your spirit as we seek to honor God “in spirit and in truth.”

We invite you to join us for worship every Sunday and look forward to sharing and celebrating the journey of faith with you. There is a place for you here . . . Welcome home!

Wishing You God’s Peace and Abundant Blessings,
(The Rev.) Belva Y. Boone
Senior Pastor
