\u00a0but will have the light of life. <\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0St John the Baptist Mission Statement<\/b><\/p>\n
The picture taken in our ruins in the Summer of 2011 shows a walk under the ancient Yew trees from darkness into light. Here in the Ruins of the once great Cathedral Church the sheer simplicity of the message of Christ and the play of light and dark in the picture encapsulates the first part of our Mission, which is quite simply to bring more people into the fellowship of Christ\u2019s Church.<\/p>\n
The second part of our Mission is to put St John\u2019s at the very heart of the Community of Chester, both for the scared AND the secular, by making\u00a0our Church available for acts of worship, sometimes in addition to our own, but also by the staging of plays and concerts which will appeal across a wide spectrum \u2013 from the ancient to the modern; from the Classical to Rock.<\/p>\n
The third and final part of the Mission is to make the\u00a0Church better known to the people of Chester and to Visitors from both the UK and the World. St John\u2019s is\u00a0a Grade I listed building and part of a Scheduled Ancient Monument. It\u00a0is indeed the\u00a0\u2018hidden gem\u2019 of Chester.<\/p>\n
So we have<\/p>\n

- Faith<\/li>\n
- Community<\/li>\n
- History<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Please join us to fulfil our work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
