Welcome to St. John's Episcopal Church, Abilene, Kansas!
If you are looking for:
- Worship that brings you in, instead of putting you on the sidelines ...
- A theology that demands our intelligence rather than ignoring it ...
- A willingness not only to tolerate but to celebrate differences and diversity ...
- A heritage that takes the Bible very seriously but is not bound by literalism ...
- A strong sense of community in which our consensus is in Christ, not to conformity of opinion ...
- A devotion to the sacraments which evokes awe and mystery instead of factual explanation ...
- A sense of ministry that is rightfully the obligation, privilege and joy of every baptized person ...
- An insistence on morality (what is good and loving) and an avoidance of moralism (salvation by code and not by Christ) ...
... We believe you will find a home in the Episcopal Church, and especially here at St. John's.
I invite you to browse through our website. If you have a need for prayer, by all means use the Prayer Request feature found below. We honor all requests for prayer. And if you ever find yourself in Abilene, for any reason, we would be honored and delighted to have you join us for worship.
In our need for God, we have need for one another.
Peace,
Fr. Jerry Rankin, Rector
