Parish Values

"God's divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us to His own glory and excellence, by which He has granted to us His precious and very great promises, that through these you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of passion, and become partakers of the divine nature." 2 Peter 1:3,4.
A core philosophy of St. John's is to be a parish family in obedience to historic Anglicanism disciplined by faithful biblical teaching, preaching and service to the poor that through the exercise of faith, hope and charity we can bring souls into a life-long relationship with Jesus Christ.
As a church of the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth we support through prayer and active ministry our bishop, the Rt. Reverend Jack Leo Iker.
For our Diocese to remain faithful and obedient to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to best accomplish its ministry while maintaining the highest level of true communion with orthodox Anglicans and Christians world-wide the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth separated legally and canonically from the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States at our Diocesan Convention November 2008. Our Diocese and St. John's are members of the Anglican Province of the Southern Cone and the historic world-wide Anglican Communion.
Discipleship for us means desiring to be a life-long learner of God. We mature in our awareness of Him through the exercise of the Christian faith and life. This faith is based on God's own divine revelation which is discovered through holy scriptures and the Church's spiritual and theological traditions. A disciple of Jesus Christ is one who claims Jesus Christ as their "Pearl of Greatest Price."
Our Parish Goal is that by God's grace Saint John's seeks to be a welcoming Christian community, dedicated to the work of Almighty God through reverent worship, daily prayer, fellowship, Christian education, faithful stewardship and outreach that we might take Christ into the world through our daily lives.
We are a Christian community that encourages a vocation of prayer for all of it's members. We encourage exploring various forms of Christian prayer and meditation.
Ronald Knox said in the early twentieth century, “These times call not merely for generating moral outrage. Rather, we are rediscovering how the Holy Spirit is descending upon the faithful reclaiming them to ancient faith and calling them to repossess captive institutions.”
Let us be found among the faithful who are seeking to reclaim the historic faith!
