St Johns Harborne Birmingham
St John's is an Anglican church we are currently in a season of prayer and discernment, renewing and refreshing our sense of vision at St John’s.
As we listen together for what the Spirit is saying, we sense God calling us to be:
A church where people encounter God’s transforming presence, are formed in the likeness of Jesus, and join Him in His mission to renew the world.
Encounter - creating space for people to meet God through worship, prayer, and the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
Formation - growing as whole-life disciples who are rooted in Scripture and shaped in community.
Mission - living as witnesses of Jesus in our homes, workplaces, city, and world.
