      A Discipling Culture Church

      Micah 6:8 explains what God requires of us: "to love mercy, act justly and walk humbly [with him]." These dimensions of relationship: Up to God (walk humbly), in toward your community (love mercy), and out to the world (act justly).

       

      In Luke 6 we see Jesus going up the mountain to pray to the Father, then calling his disciples to him, then going down to minster to the crowds that had gathered. Jesus lived a balanced life, in these three dimensions (UP-IN-OUT), which are illustrated in the triangle of our logo.

      We want to see UP, IN, and OUT expressed in all areas of life at St. John

      Our Vision

      We are a Church on a mission to see lives transformed by the Good News of the Gospel through following God, sharing life, and loving our neighbor.

      • Following God - Putting God first in all we do
      • ​Sharing Life - Growing together to be more like Jesus
      • Loving Neighbor - Being part of what God is doing in the world

      Our Values

      In following God we want to be part of what he is doing in the world:

      • The grace of God, through Jesus Christ, and the life transforming power of the Holy Spirit are available to all who seek him
      • He invites his people to join him on mission
      In sharing Life together we want to create a healthy environment for spiritual growth and discipleship:
      • A safe place emotionally
      • Living a balanced life, with a healthy rest-work rhythm
      • Servant leaders
      • Disciples making disciples
      • Expanding the Kingdom of God, not growing the church
      • Life on mission - an extension of discipleship into daily practice (life, work, community)
      In loving our neighbor we seek to be families on mission:
      • The family home is the primary discipling venue
      • Families take on a kingdom perspective; work together with what God is doing
      • An extended family, or group of households ("oikos")  can become a larger community for discipling all generation and serving the world

      In all we do we constantly ask the discipling questions of:

      • What's God saying?
      • What are you going to do about it?
    • UP - IN - OUT
