Annual Chili Cook-Off 2026

Get ready to spice things up! 🌶️

On Sunday, February 8, right after our Annual Parish Meeting, head to Alfriend Hall for one of the most delicious fundraisers of the year—the St. John’s Chili Cook-Off! Sample at least a dozen mouthwatering chilis and use your very own voting spoon to crown the 2026 St. John’s Chili Champ.

Entry: $10 per person, $5 for kids (max $30 per family)

Your voting spoon purchase includes:

  • Unlimited chili samples
  • Fran’s famous homemade cornbread
  • Cookies, tea, and lemonade
  • And yes… that all-important voting spoon

Wear your stretchiest, comfiest pants and come hungry for some friendly competition—all while supporting our summer youth mission to Quito, Ecuador.

Grab your spoons using the link below and let the chili showdown begin! If you’d like to enter a chili into the competition, contact Tyree Jordan.
