St. John’s Shield

The mission of St. John’s Episcopal-Lutheran Church in Williams is:

Grounded in Christ’s love, St. John’s provides an atmosphere for all to explore their faith & reach out to those in need.

The shield for St. John’s is unique to this church.  It combines the Episcopal shield with Luther’s seal.  The shield is the symbol of the Episcopal Church of America, as adopted by the General Convention in 1940.  Martin Luther designed his seal in the 1500s as an expression of his faith.  Together, they symbolize the dual heritage and unity in Christ of our church.
