St. John’s is part of the Episcopal Church in Minnesota. The Episcopal Church is a spiritual home free of judgment and inclusive for all. We are a diverse community of seekers who, following the teachings of Jesus, come together in common prayer and in communion at the altar. We are bound together by our love of God, manifest in Christ Jesus, by our shared traditions and experiences of God in the worship and the life of the community.
Scripture
We believe God inspired the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. We believe the Bible contains all things necessary to salvation. We use the Bible in many ways during worship, including reading from it during services, and using it as the basis for much of the liturgy.
Tradition
Our traditions are unified in how we pray and worship God. The Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed are the two foundational statements of faith in the Episcopal Church.
Reason
We Believe reason is considered a gift from God that helps people understand the influence of the Holy Spirit in their own lives and the experiences of others. It’s also seen as a way to interpret scripture and tradition, and to grow spiritually.
