Dear Cyber-Visitor::
It is a true joy to welcome you to the website of St. John's
church. We are glad to have you with us, and if you are looking
for a church home in the Stockton area, we would be honored to have you make our
journey in faith your own.
St John’s Anglican Church of Stockton, CA is
pleased to announce the calling of a new rector.
An appointed committee of twelve members dedicated
sixteen months in searching for a new rector to replace Fr Dan
Martins, who left to take a rector’s position in Warsaw, IN.
St John’s has called Reverend Lee M. Nelson to become
their new Rector.
Fr Lee Nelson will serve as the twenty
seventh rector of St John’s Church.
Fr Lee Nelson comes to St John’s Church from
Southlake, Texas with his wife Ela and two children, Moira and
Oliver.
Father Lee Nelson was born in
Auburn, Washington, and grew up in Arlington Texas, graduating
from Martin High School. During high
school, he was active in EYC and Happening, serving has a
Happening Rector and President of the Diocesan Youth Council.
A proud Aggie, he is a graduate of Texas
A&M University (B.B.A.) in 2002 and Nashotah House (M.Div) in
2005.
The Parish will welcome Fr Lee Nelson on Sunday, December 7th
after the 10:00am Service with a pot luck luncheon.
We will also thank our Search Committee for their work.
Fr Woodrow Gubuan will be honored for serving during the
interim period and welcomed as Fr Lee Nelson’s Associate.

St.
John's is as old as Stockton itself, and we are proud of our
heritage and our place in the larger community. But our roots go back even
further than 1850. They go back to the rock of our faith, our Lord Jesus
Christ...
.... What we believe and the way we live is
what we have received from Christ himself, passed on from generation to
generation for 2,000 years. We call this tradition, and it is this tradition of
historic Christianity that energizes our worship, shapes our values, and
sustains our lives.
While we celebrate our heritage, we
also embrace our future. St. John's is an active and exciting place to be.
Our mission is to respond to the spiritual needs of all those whom God sends
our way. We know that God will provide us with all we need to fulfill that
mission. The opportunities and challenges we face are invitations to grow in the
knowledge and love of God.
This site is designed to provide you with some basic
information about St. John's and the Church. We hope you find it
helpful. If it raises questions you would like to explore further, we welcome
your inquiry.
Faithfully in Christ,
St John's Vestry
