About St. John's >

Church history

So, how did get to where we are today?   Well, prior to 1982:  A group of faithful Episcopalians in the Pottsboro area began meeting at a local Presbyterian Methodist Church.  With a donation of three acres of farmland, church services started out in a double-wide trailer.


 

December 23, 1982

The Episcopal Community of St. John the Apostle was granted formal mission status.

Beginning in 2001

The Rev. Ally Perry served as supply priest until she was appointed Vicar. In the ensuing years, a new church building on 8 acres of land was constructed.

In 2009

A new church building was constructed by parishioners on 7 acres of land that were acquired by the
church

In May, 2013

The Rev. Nancy Powers is called to be the new Vicar of St. John’s. Average Sunday attendance (ASA) increases. Our strong youth program becomes an area focal point for Vacation Bible School and All Saints Camp. Parishioners serve our community –  Grand Central Station’s Dining Car, Family Promise of Grayson County, and Visions of Sugarplums to name a few.

September 1, 2020

The Rev. Dr. Marci Pounders is appointed Vicar.

In-person worship starts to build back up with lifting of some COVID restrictions.  A new audio/video system with upgraded cameras reaches many who wish to continue to watch services from home.

In November, 2021

 

St. John's became an established parish.

Today

Great things continue to happen at St. John’s!


 

A new Lay Eucharistic Visitor Team reaches our homebound. Our nursery is a secure, engaging place where our children can learn about our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

Weekly Bible Study and small groups are thriving. 

 

A New Audio-Visual System purchased with a grant from the Episcopal Foundation of Dallas has been installed, greatly improving the quality, sound and reach of our weekly broadcasts. We are proud to reach 50-125 people each week with our audio-video ministry!

 

At St. John's we understand the day-to-day trials of life. Everyone is Welcome... All Ages... All Abilities... Full of Faith Or New To The Church. That's the miracle of our community. Together, we are made whole and clean by the love and the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
