Welcome To St Johns
Welcome to St.John's website! .As you browse around our pages you'll get an idea of the sort of church we are and be able to keep up to date with what's happening here.
The church was originally built in 1917 as a daughter church in the larger parish of St.Thomas Brampton. Back then it served a small rural hamlet, just outside Chesterfield. Now Walton has grown to be a thriving suburb and the Church has grown too. In 2000, St.John's 'came of age'. The new parish of Walton was created and St John’s became a Parish Church. The last few years have seen sustained growth, so much so that we outgrew the original Church. The only way forward was to take down the old Church, and in 2006, our new Church building was opened
In 2007 we spent time considering our vision for the next 3 years. We believe God is calling us to “equip God’s people for God’s purposes”. To enable that to happen we have identified that we need to be a people “Growing in God’s Grace; Deepening Relationships, Discovering Gifts, Witnessing Confidently and Serving the Community”. It is our desire and vision to develop all these aspects of our life together and with God.
I hope that as you browse these pages you will get a feel for who we are - but the best way to discover that is to come and meet us face to face.
