Our Vision:

In late June 2005, the members and adherents of St. John's United Church, Georgetown and Glen Williams endorsed a new Vision that will significantly transform our church over a period of 15 years.  We are strengthened by the knowledge that over the 170+ year history of our Congregation in this community, our worshippers have met, built, merged and moved as needs dictated.  It is time for us, the current generation of believers, to lead our church on the next step of its faith journey.  We trust that God will energize us as we take this leap of faith to discover the new and wonderful possibilities of Vision 2020.

In the year 2020:

St. John's United Church is a spiritually and financially healthy Congregation whose demographics and growth mirror that of its community.  Our membership comprises over 400 households or 500 Resident Members of diverse backgrounds and age groups who live in Halton Hills and the surrounding area.

We are a group of believers who worship regularly and study continually in order to strengthen our own Christian understanding and beliefs.  This prepares and enables us to share Christ in word and in deed with others.  Combining this personal development with the St. John's legacy of community leadership, we focus on the future by actively living a new revitalized Mission that reaches out to people across the community and invites them to join with us to think, feel and experience God in Jesus Christ.

Our growing family of believers celebrates and strengthens its faith throughout the week with a variety of contemporary Worship and Programming opportunities that are meaningful to all age groups.  We are led in this experience by engaged and well-trained volunteers, a Church Council which has as its focus our vital Ministries, and six leadership staff comprised of a blend of ordained ministers and lay personnel. 

The Finances of St. John's are strong due to the joyful commitment of our members to its active Mission and Ministries.  We worship together in one new multi-purpose Facility built on 5 - 10 acres that is conveniently located and acts as a focal point within our growing community. 

Recognizing that the status quo was not sustainable and that good Stewardship would not allow it to be sustained, the Congregation of St. John's made some difficult decisions in 2005 to secure our future.  Our Congregation subsequently redeployed its existing resources and contributed 15 years of hard work to transform our Congregational Culture in order to achieve the vision we are currently living in 2020.
