Welcome to St. John’s United Methodist Church<\/p>

Nestled in the St. John’s neighborhood of North Springfield, Northern Virginia, St. John’s United Methodist Church is more than just a place to worship. From our first service with 57 people on August 26, 1956, we have served our community and neighborhood and expanded the Kingdom of God to where we stand for 70 years. We\u2019re a diverse community that welcomes people from all over Springfield and beyond, including many who join us virtually from different parts of the country and the world under our mission statement – Bringing Christ to Others and Others to Christ. Our focus is simple yet profound: to grow in our love for God, create community with each other, and find meaningful ways to serve our neighbors and the world. There is a place for you here. When we worship, connect, and make a positive impact together, we all get a better glimpse of God\u2019s love.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Lorem Ipsum<\/strong>\u00a0is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.<\/p>

It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIt is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
