At St. John's, everyone is a minister.

However, our Rev. Drew Phoenix leads our congregation in worship and in service.   

Rev. Drew Phoenix has been an ordained elder in The United Methodist Church since 1989.  He has served several urban churches, both in Bethesda, Maryland and Baltimore City, Maryland.  Rev. Phoenix has been appointed at St. John’s of Baltimore City United Methodist Church, a Reconciling congregation, since July, 2002.  In addition to his Master of Divinity from Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, D.C., Rev. Phoenix has a Master of Science in Development Management from American University in Washington, D.C. and a Master of Acupuncture from the TAI SOPHIA Institute in Laurel, Maryland.  In addition to his ministry at St. John’s, he works as a licensed acupuncturist in Baltimore City.
