St. John's is a church near the north-eastern shore of White Rock Lake in Dallas. We are devoted to a three-fold purpose.
We WORSHIP God in the beauty of our Anglican High Church tradition. We MAKE DISCIPLES of Jesus through preaching that engages minds and hearts with the Gospel and through excellent Christian education for all ages. And we engage the Church's MISSION to be witnesses for Christ in word and deed, both in our local community and around the world.To learn more about St. John's, continue on to the About Us page.

Yes, it's about worship, discipleship, and mission; but what are the specifics? What are the particular things I believe God is calling us to pursue and accomplish for the Kingdom?
At its September meeting, the Clergy and Vestry of St. John's unanimously adopted a resolution disassociating the parish from the Communion-breaking and faith-breaking actions of the 2009 General Convention of TEC.
