MISSION STATEMENT

It is the mission of the St. John Baptist Church to work faithfully toward fulfilling the Great Commission given by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Matthews 28:19-20, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and, lo, I am with you always, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen"

To achieve this, the St. John Baptist Church is committed to the following basic Tenants:

1. Making disciples for Jesus Christ through sharing the Gospel.
2. Leading believers into an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ through teaching and discipleship.
3. Practicing and communicating the full Gospel; it's promises, it's principles, and it's power.
4. Carrying out the two ordinances of the Church: Baptism and the Lord's Supper.
5. Applying an holistic approach to ministry (body, soul, and spirit).
6. Maintaining collective spiritual power over the enemy through prayer.
7. Demonstrating the love of God through giving.
