Pastor
Welcome to St. John the Baptist Catholic Church!
Since 1867, our parish has brought the Good News of Jesus Christ to Winfield and the surrounding area. We are united in Christ and members of His household, the Church.
Come experience the warm, welcoming community at St. John's. You will be lifted up by Christ in the sacraments, helping you become one who lifts up others and thus transforms the world.
I pray you will feel at home at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church and enjoy our thriving ministries as an active member. Join us to grow the Kingdom of God on this journey to our Father's house.
We welcome you into our mission of Leading Souls to Heaven.
In Christ,
Very Rev. Christopher Lankford, KHS
