You are welcome and wanted here. We can't wait to meet you.
Welcome to Waco!
You've chosen a great place to spend your college and young adult years. We know you're going to have a great experience. If you're looking for a church home while you're here, a "home away from home," or a place to explore your faith, St. John is a great place to be involved.Introduce Yourself
We'd love to get to know you. Fill out whatever you are comfortable sharing, and we'll be glad to get back to you and let you know how you can get involved.About our Church
Our faith is 2,000 years old. Our thinking isn't.
We're an inclusive, loving church just 5 or 6 miles from Baylor. We have a rich history of more than 137 years. We worship God: Father, Son, and Spirit while calling each other to service in the world around us. We're a small church, which means you'll be known and loved here. While the music of our worship service leans traditional, our theology and preaching is progressive, asking fresh questions of the Bible, and seeking where God might be leading the Church today. We celebrate an ecumenical and inclusive faith, working with many other denominations and people of faith to join in God's good work in our world. Join us!
What is there for college-aged folks?
Let's be honest, a lot of churches treat their college students like another youth group. That's not really our calling. We want you to be a part of the whole congregation, not in a set-apart clique for your age group. We'd love for you to participate in our worship services, eat at our potlucks, ask questions in our Bible Studies and volunteer with our senior adults, our children, or our choir. You will be appreciated as a young adult here.
That being said, if there is enough interest for a separate college-aged Bible Study or fellowship group, our pastor would be happy to form one, studying any topic you'd like.
