Rev. Joseph L. Coleman

Rev. Joseph L. Coleman, founder and pastor of St. John’s Christian Church. Rev. Coleman established St. John in 1983, a non-denominational Church located at 346 Shennecossett Road in Groton. St. John Church’s vision is and has always been evangelism. This vision was given to Rev. Coleman in accordance with Luke 19:10: We were commanded to seek and save those who are lost. Our desire as a ministry is to reconciled all men, women and children back to God irrespective of color, creed or background. As a result, St. John’s assembly of believers is a rainbow congregation comprised of black, white, red and yellow which we feel is a true representation of Heaven. The Holy Spirit makes us all one. Rev. Coleman has been involved in a variety of civic organizations in Groton and New London such as: The United Way, mentor of West Side Middle School and Fitch High School, MASH, an organization for the homeless and various other commitments. He is presently the Chaplain for the City of Groton Police and Fire Departments. At St. John’s you are free to utilize your God given gifts, talents, and skills to build and lift up the Name of Jesus!
