St. John's celebrates 70 years of ministry in hardin county
1954-2024 and beyond...
St. John's celebrated 70 years of ministry in Silsbee and Hardin County with a worship service and lunchon on Sunday, December 8, attended by current and former members and friends, some of whom traveled from across the state for the occasion.
It was in 1954 that a group of Episcopalians living in Silsbee petitioned the Bishop of Texas, the Rt. Rev. John Hines, to plant a mission church in Silsbee. The group began meeting first in homes and later in borrowed spaces. Our site on Roosevelt was acquired and initial building erected in the late 1950's. Our current worship space was added in the mid-1980's.
We invite you to explore a vibrant community dedicated to spiritual growth and fellowship. Whether you are new to the area or seeking a deeper connection to your faith, we invite you to join us for worship, study, and community events that foster a welcoming environment. Together, we strive to make a positive impact in our community and beyond.
We worship in a warm, casual atmosphere Sundays at 11 a.m.
BEWARE OF SCAMMERS
We've learned that someone representing themselves to be Father John is calling area residents and asking them to buy gift cards for needy people.
Please warn your social media networks that St. John's is not calling people asking for gift cards, and be alert for other common scams.
