WELCOME TO ST. JOHN’S
Whoever You Are
and Wherever You Are on Your Spiritual Journey, You Are Welcome Here!
Welcome to St. John the Divine Episcopal Church
Where we are dedicated to building a faith community that embodies the love of Christ — love and kindness to all. At our church, we believe in the importance of building strong relationships with one another and with God.
Don’t miss our pet blessing service (click here)
Every church seeks to be welcoming, of course. You will find that many people here are being drawn to Episcopal churches to experience a radical inclusion and openness to others, all embedded in the glories of the historic liturgy … kind of “ancient/modern”. Check out the “Three Saints” tab to explore.
We invite you to join us on this journey of faith, love, and service. Whether you are looking for a church home, exploring your faith, or seeking to make a difference in the world, you are welcome here! Please explore our website to learn more about our community and how you can get involved. We look forward to getting to know you!
