Straight and gay, rich and poor, and every color and age, St John’s is a place of Radical Kindness, warm and open Christ-Followers who celebrate God’s grace and love and cherish one another. We are proud and grateful to serve as a “neighborhood church” for the tri-cities: College Park, East Point and Hapeville. Everyone needs a place to be cherished. We invite you to make St John’s yours!
The world needs to know the healing grace of Jesus Christ. Christ's message of hope, love, and peace is as relevant today as when Jesus Christ first called his disciples. As a worshiping community, we strive to be a beacon of God's love by exemplifying the two great commandments: Love God with our whole heart and love our neighbors as ourselves. We practice Radical Kindness, opening our doors wide to people of every age, stripe, and type. We join in worship and service and share the unconditional welcome offered at Jesus' Table. Founded in the summer of 1906, on the 14th Sunday after Trinity, St. John's seeks to deepen our faith with the teachings of Jesus, the prophets, and the apostles and continually serve our community in ways that matter.
Everyone needs a place to be cherished. We invite you to make St. John’s yours.
