John Arwood, the founder of the John the Baptist Blvd. movement, is calling on mayors across the country to adopt this unique and meaningful street name in their cities. John the Baptist is known for his role as a prophet and for baptizing Jesus in the Jordan River. By naming a street after John the Baptist, communities can honor his legacy and inspire citizens to live a life of purpose and service.
The John the Baptist Blvd. website, www.johnthebaptistblvd.com, explains the story behind this movement and provides resources for cities interested in adopting this street name. John Arwood, the founder of the movement, was inspired to start this initiative after seeing the impact that street names can have on a community. By choosing a name that carries a message of hope and inspiration, cities can create a sense of identity and purpose that brings people together.
John Arwood encourages mayors to consider the benefits of adding a John the Baptist Blvd. to their cities. “Naming a street after John the Baptist is a powerful way to honor his legacy and inspire citizens to live a life of purpose and service,” he said. “It’s a simple yet meaningful way to make a positive impact on your community.”

A mayor does not have to be a pastor to see the value of this request. Cities already use street names to say who is worth remembering. John the Baptist is worth remembering. He was faithful in obscurity, bold in public, and humble before Jesus. Isaiah described his work long before he was born: a voice in the wilderness, a straight highway for God (Isaiah 40:3). When a city adopts John the Baptist Boulevard, it puts that voice back on the map.
We are not asking any city to favor one congregation over another. We are asking civic leaders to honor the man who prepared the way of the Lord, and we are asking neighbors to help them do it with petitions, letters, and patient conversation. If you are a mayor, a council member, or a resident who wants to begin, we will walk with you. Call or text John Arwood at (904) 305-7534, or write [email protected].
