Welcome to St.
John in the Wilderness!
|
Father Mark Kelm, Rector
Welcome! We
have a place ready for you at St. John in the Wilderness.
Please sit and share the fellowship at our table. Ours is a
community where young and old worship together and walk in
love, where we serve each other and where we are fed and
filled. At St. John's, we provide a spiritual home for
children, youth, and adults as they travel on their journey
of faith through the wilderness of human experience.
Through
God's grace and guidance, your faith journey has brought you
to us. Perhaps you are looking for a Spirit-filled
community. Perhaps you feel broken and seek healing. Perhaps
you have been searching for a balance of tradition and
openness to new ideas. Whatever the reason for your visit,
our hearts greet you warmly in Christ's love. We're happy to
share with you the wonderful ways God is working through and
with us at St. John's.

Who
We
Are
|
We
are a growing, open, and friendly intergenerational church
-- a safe refuge in a busy world -- with a sense of family
and small town atmosphere. Our strengths are in faith
formation, education, and outreach. We deeply value
children, youth, and parish activities with participants of
all ages and from all of our Sunday services.

Our History
Painting of the Original Church
|
We are an
historic congregation: we were the first church
in White Bear Lake, founded in 1860 by
Laura Aubrey, of England.
The Aubrey family donated the land where the
original church stood from 1860 until 1874, when
it was moved across the ice. Today that original land is the
site of our charming
cemetery. The
first
church building lasted another 50 years, when it
was replaced by our
present stone and stucco building
at First and Clark Avenue.
