ANNOUNCEMENT!
On 10/23/22 the Charge Conference of St. John’s UMC voted to disaffiliate from the United Methodist Church and become an independent Methodist church by a vote of 23 in favor of disaffiliating and 4 against disaffiliating. This met the two-thirds requirement to separate from the UMC. The separation will be effective on December 3, 2022.
Small enough to know you, large enough to care for your needs.
OUR HISTORY (Read more under History & Photos)
St. John's Methodist Church began as a branch Sunday School and mission of Cedar Bayou Methodist Church in 1913. It started in a one room unfinished school house at the Goose Creek Oil Field on the banks of San Jacinto Bay.
It became the first church in the area in 1917 and was named First Methodist Church. When the community was incorporated and named Pelly, the church was the First Methodist Church of Pelly. In 1949, a new church was built and the name of the church was changed to St. John's, when Goose Creek, Pelly, and Baytown became the new city of Baytown. Through all the years and the many changes in Baytown, the ministers and the congregation of St. John's have continued to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ to our community. In 2013 we celebrated our 100th anniversary! Come help us continue the tradition! |
Welcome!
At St. John's Methodist Church we seek to make contact with those people of all origins who wish to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and become His disciples. We also want those that wish to grow in their faith and get closer to their Lord. Our desire is to offer a radical stimulating worship service based on the Word of God and teach the scriptures from the Bible in our Sunday School classes. Then we will take our faith out into the community and through our Christian witness bring even more people to St. John's, making new disciples for Jesus Christ for the betterment of the world. Come and be a part of St. John's Methodist Church and let us welcome you into the Body of Christ, our church family.
