In just 15 months, St. John’s has grown from 30 to over 100 average Sunday attendees. I’m thrilled that Neva Rae Fox from The Living Church was kind enough to recognize and celebrate this growth in their latest issue. Keep scrolling for the article. (I’ll post the webpage once the paywall is removed.)
There are many at St. John’s who deserve my gratitude, but I am especially thankful to my wardens, Charmaine Derrell-Jacobs and Rebecca Banks, for their unwavering belief in our vision of centering everything we do around the good news of the gospel. A special thanks to Alex Nguyen, for being the best Music Director a diverse congregation like ours could hope for, and to Chelsy DeHart for her incredible ability with children — our very own “kid whisperer.”
We’ve overcome incredible challenges just to stay open, but the future looks so bright! If you’re interested in getting behind a (not-so-) little (-anymore) church that could, don’t pledge to Substack, pledge to St. John’s (link below the article). Thank you! And now, the piece:
What a great testimony Fr. Ben. You've come a long way brother. God is so good.!
Congratulations to you and your congregation. We need to hear more stories like this. Thanks to TLC for telling it.
