MEET OUR NEW PASTOR
On Sunday, January 19, 2020, Pastor Dan Hetherington will provided the message for the first time as the new Lead Pastor of St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church, Columbia, MD. Pastor Dan, the son of a Royal Air Force Chaplain, was born at the Royal Air Force Dhekelia in Cyprus and raised in the Anglican Church. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from Leeds Metropolitan University and a Master of Divinity degree from University of Durham, Durham, England.
In Pastor Dan’s Faith Profile he writes, “I have developed a greater sense of my calling to follow in the Great Commission and make disciples that can make disciples, through mentoring, teaching, training, and evangelizing; also through preaching the Gospel and developing relationships with those who the Holy Spirit has prepared to hear the Good News.”
On February 1st at 3pm in the St. John Sanctuary, Pastor Dan was installed as Leader Pastor by Bishop William Gohl. A reception in the Fellowship Hall immediately followed the service.
Please continue to pray for Pastor Dan and his family as he begins his ministry at St. John.

Our Vision & Mission
God has given us a wonderful life to live to His glory. Jesus lived such a life and we see this demonstrated as a balanced life in three dimensions. We seek to grow in our relationship with God, learn how to live in community, boldly bring hope to the world.
Time invested lingering in Christ's presence

Missional Communities as Christ intends
We believe spiritual growth happens best in community. God didn’t design us to live in isolation or to walk in our faith alone, but rather created us to grow through being with others who are also focused on Him.
Multi-ethnic and multi-engaged - Outreach across the world
We self-describe as a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, multi-denominational church. We are engaged in our neighborhood, our larger community, nationally through coaching and support and internationally through key partnerships.
