[St. John United Church of Christ-An Open & Affirming Church Serving Fairview Heights IL At St. John United Church of Christ, our faith may be 2100 years old, but our thinking is not. As part of the United Church of Christ, we believe in God's continuing testament. This is why we are committed to hearing God's story anew and afresh in our lives and in the world today. We try to remain attentive to God's creative movement in the world. For instance, we recognize that religion and science are not mutually exclusive, so your head and heart are both welcomed in our worship. We embrace all kinds of communities and new modes of thinking because God is still speaking.]
