St John Episcopal Church and Center for Inner Peace

Information may not be reliable

St. John's Center for Inner Peace is a place alive with the power of the Holy Spirit. It is a holy, peaceful place where all people are invited to greater physical, emotional and spiritual wholeness through the energy that flows from the heart of God.
Founded in 2000, St. John's Center for Inner Peace is the result of God responding to the prayers of a community who were called by Him to create "a center for inner peace, Christian healing and spiritual enrichment for all people."
Our ministry of healing prayer is based upon the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Through that ministry, many people are discovering healing, spiritual awakening, serenity, and inner peace.
As an extension of our vision, we offer The School for Christian Healing and Spiritual Enrichment, an intense workshop that equips individuals to effectively minister healing prayer to others. We are also available to do other workshops as well as midweek training on specific topics related to healing.
The Center for Inner Peace is located at 1513 Pinewood Lane, on the southwest corner of New London, Wisconsin.
The Center is hosted by St. John's Community Episcopal Church, a Spirit-filled community which celebrates spiritual, life-giving, healing, contemporary worship services every weekend (Sundays 8:30am and 10:30am).

There is a New Breed of Episcopal Christians forming at St. John's Church and Center for Inner Peace. The following article describes what is happening. Contact us if you wish to be part of this great movement of the Holy Spirit.
New Breed of Episcopal Christians
There is a new breed of Episcopal Christians emerging and they sound much like the apostles of long ago. They are a group of people who moved beyond their 16th century roots to the core values of the Acts of the Apostles church. Their vision setting questions do not focus on the period of Reformation but on the stories of the first Christians who sacrificed their lives to proclaim the amazing life giving power of Jesus Christ. These Episcopal Christians are not interested in political jargon but in the truth of the scripture and the power that flows from the anointing of the Holy Spirit. This new breed of Episcopalians combines the experience of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the reenergizing power of the sacramental life. This combination offers an experience of the transforming power of a personal relationship with Jesus as well as a sensate means of continually encountering his living, risen presence. Their weekly celebration of Eucharist is a powerful recommitment to be the body and blood of Jesus in the world today. These Episcopal Christians are not conformed to the values of the present age but are transformed by a personal encounter of the Holy Spirit as described in the New Testament. They are concerned about doing what Jesus did and obeying his directives while being empowered by a personal friendship with him.
This new breed of Episcopal Christians welcomes all people into their midst and then shares the treasures of the apostolic teaching, the gift of Christian friendships, the transforming power of the Eucharist and the energizing guidance of listening to Abba each day. They have frequent teachings on the healing power of Gods love and they are equipped to minister that love with the gentleness and persistence of Jesus himself. Their teachings affirm Christian medical care, sound psychological principles, and biblical Christian spirituality to invite people to wholeness and the fullness of life that Jesus promised. They study the scriptures not just as a historical book but as a love letter from the Master himself, allowing themselves to be moved by the compassion that flows between the lines of the text. They continually invite Jesus values to transform their own so that their actions bring his presence into the world today.
These new Episcopalians value the scripture as the word of God, and they also value the traditions that flow from that word. They embrace the core values of the first century church and repackage those values in a way that 21st century people can hear them and receive them. They set aside the cultural barnacles attached to the church of the middle ages and accentuate the actions and words of Jesus that bring about spiritual transformation and healing today. They use reason to discern ways to best express the treasures of Jesus for this generation. They intentionally and systematically seek to lead each person to a personal encounter with Jesus, an event which the New Testament describes as being born from above. Their whole attention is on what Jesus says, not on what other people think of them.
The people involved in this new breed of Episcopal Christians enjoy a life of serenity and inner peace. They begin each day with gratitude for Gods gift of life and they approach every situation with the belief that nothing is impossible with God. They care for the needs of the poor with the compassion exemplified by Jesus himself. They demonstrate a joy that is visible and tangible to all who visit with them. They welcome everyone into their midst and begin soaking them in Gods love as soon as they arrive. They attract people who are looking for something more, something deeper, something richer from their Christian life. This new breed of Episcopalian Christians is growing.
