Welcome

Welcome to St John's! We are a mid-sized community parish in Huntington, WV -- the home of Marshall University, Marshall University School of Medicine and Mountwest Community & Technical College.

When you walk into our doors, we welcome you with extended arms, friendly faces and open hearts The warmth of this welcome lets you know that we want this place to be YOUR place to worship and serve, to heal and to rejuvenate.

Our parishioners span the generations and are a diverse group in gender, sexuality, family type, socio-economic and education levels and more You might find St John's a little more progressive than average We believe that you have a mind to use, that Love is Love, Black Lives Matter, that science is not the enemy, that the immigrant and the refugee and the under-resourced are all part of this beautiful mosaic that is the family of God. In our baptismal covenant we are asked to "seek and serve Christ in all persons" and to "strive for justice and peace among all people and to respect the dignity of every human being." These are the guiding principles for our worship and service at St. John's.

Our mission is singular"To reach out to ALL God's people with love." Our vision is to follow Jesus' examples of loving service and radical hospitality to all people (no exceptions!).

Near the end of each Service, we are reminded that "as our Liturgy ends, our service to all God's children begins " We invite you to join us!
