At St. John Church, we believe the mark of trust leadership lies in how well our leaders embody and spread the love of God through service to humanity.  Certainly, our first family raises this mark to new heights. Pastor Jesse, Ms. Mary and David Alexander represent the finest in genuine compassion and humble service. Their love for the members of this faith community is evident in all they do. Our pastor and first lady work well together and, as a team, demonstrate the meaning of servanthood through their love for the people of God!
