A Vision and a Mission

The Vestry and several lay people have been meeting to update our Vision and Mission statements. It has taken us a long time to accomplish this task.   We recently asked an outside consultant, Karla Schpansky  to help guide us through the process.  Karla lives in Breckenridge and a member of St. John the Baptist in Breckenridge (she is also our NW Regional Representative to the Standing Committee).  After meeting with Karla for two lunch meetings in September and October, we have arrived in updating our Vision and Mission statements.

Vision for St. John’s - To be a caring and welcoming community embracing the love of the Christian Journey.

Mission for St. John’s - Bringing Jesus Christ to the heart of our community.

Our Core Values: 

• Caring
• Nurturing
• Sharing
• Inquiring
• Worshiping
• Celebrating

Thank you to everyone who helped and contributed to this process! We hope that you will join with us as we live and grow into these statements as we go forward in our time together at St. John’s. 

Blessings in Christ,

Betsy Pettit - Sr. Warden

Advent Conspiracy

We’d like to invite you to join a conspiracy:

The Advent Conspiracy.

This conspiracy is all about a plan to celebrate Christmas!

“Advent Conspiracy is about the entire body of Christ at work in the world. As we worship fully, spend less, give more, and love all, something begins to happen that is greater than any single person, church, or denomination. As the Church, we are telling the story of Jesus to the watching world.” (https://adventconspiracy.org/about/)

We will conspired together to celebrate Christmas by spending a bit of time each week exploring  what it means to “worship fully, spend less, give more, and love all?”

Yes, there is a book. You can order it here.

Yes, there will be a short video each week. You can watch an introductory video here.

A four week Advent study with lasting implications.

So…will you conspire with us? 

No code words or secret hand shakes required.

Just a desire to share the story of Jesus with the world!
