Who are you bringing with you to church and our annual Chili Cook-off on Sunday, February 25?

After the 10 AM service, join us in Alfriend Hall for one of the tastiest fundraisers of the year. You can sample at least a dozen different chilis and vote for your favorite!

Entry is $10/person ($5 for kids), with a maximum of $30 per family.

  • unlimited chili samples
  • Fran’s homemade cornbread
  • cookies, tea, and lemonade
  • … plus, a special spoon to cast your vote for our 2024 St. John’s Chili Champ!

This year, Leon Brunson will be judging our chef’s choice award. A local restaurant owner and professional chef, Leon earned his celebrity status after recently starring on Hulu’s “Secret Chef!” Plan to wear your comfy pants for this friendly competition that raises funds for the summer youth mission to Quito, Ecuador. Parishioners get to vote for their favorite chili after enjoying unlimited samples!

UPDATE 2/25/2024:

St. John’s brought the heat! Our 2024 Annual Chili Cook-Off was fantastic.

Runner Up – Forester Shelton
Honorable Mention – Tyree Jordan
