The Rev. Dr. Jon Burnham
Hi there!
You are welcome to learn more about St. John's, contact me or subscribe to our email newsletter.
I started as pastor of St. John's in August of 2007. Since then we have delved into deeper prayer, reflection, and discipleship. With advanced theological training and many years of practicing Centering Prayer, I offers both scholarly depth and pastoral gentleness as well as visionary leadership.
We have some significant mission projects on our campus and out in the world. Talk to me to learn more about them as the clients served by our mission partners require confidentiality.
In the meantime, may God bless you along your spiritual journey. If you’d like to talk to me, call me at the church office 713-723-6262.
In the meantime, to get to know me better, check out my dozens of books on Amazon in Paperback, Kindle and Audible. Here is a list of books I've published with links you may explore.

She prays that God’s Holy Spirit will accompany her on this new ministry.
