About
our Church
.
.
.
.
The church was founded in 1892 by German Americans,
our church has provided spiritual inspiration to Northern
Kentuckians and Greater Cincinnatians for over a century.
Based upon the historical Congregational principles of respect
for the individual and governmental autonomy, St. John's
is a church which welcomes those who believe in the
fundamental Congregational covenant, "Where two or three
are gathered in His name, God is in the midst of them."
Congregationalists are a covenant people,
and St. John's is a people's church.

The members and council of St. John's Congregational Church
are happy to welcome you as a visitor, and we gladly invite
you to explore the many attributes our church has to offer:

.... GOVERNMENT .
The
business affairs of the church
are handled by a ten person
church
council, elected in December
by the congregation for a
one year term.
The council in turn elects a President,
Vice President and Secretary.
A
treasurer is appointed by the congregation.
The
council
abides by a Church Constitution,
most recently revised in 1995.
All
major policy and business decisions are subjected
to
final approval by the congregation at large.
