Transforming hearts & lives

Our story

Along with eight charter members, Rev. Joseph Andrew Boles organized and founded St. John Missionary Baptist Church on October 25th, 1952. The original location was an old storeroom on the corner of 21st and G St.

By the grace of God and with the support of St. John Church, Pastor LeeArthur Madison has led the church through some considerable changes and made some significant accomplishments in his 22 years of pastoral and apostolic leadership. Pastor Madison was led by God to make St. John Church non-denominational and to license and empower women to use their preaching gifts in ministry.

In February 2017, God led Apostle Madison to appoint and ask for the church's support in establishing Gabriel Madison as Assistant Pastor of St. John Church TMI. Pastor Gabriel was ordained in October 2017 and has served in that position until this day.
