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.
We seek to deepen our connection to our faith and to one another through worship, prayer, and fellowship. Our mission is to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where people are cared for, and where we work together to make a positive impact on the world around us.
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!
Who We Are
Our Rector: The Reverend Karen Cuffie
Karen began her ministry at St. John’s in 2020. She attended Church Divinity School of the Pacific in Berkeley, CA, and was ordained to the priesthood in 2016. Prior to ordained ministry, Karen was an elementary music school teacher, served five years on active duty in the USAF, and began a long, challenging career raising five children as a stay-at-home mom. Her family is uniquely diverse, which has helped form her theology around beloved community. Karen graduated from Shenandoah College and Conservatory of Music in Winchester, VA, and Church Divinity School of the Pacific in Berkeley, CA. She loves to sing, play piano, do jigsaw puzzles, and play with her grandchildren.
We belong to the Diocese of El Camino Real under Bishop Lucinda Ashby.
OUR WEEKLY SUNDAY SERVICES ARE AT 10AM
We share our priest with St. Stephen’s in-the-Field Episcopal Church in South San Jose, so while we have services every Sunday our priest, Rev. Karen Cuffie, alternates every-other-Sunday between the two churches. On Sundays when Rev. Karen is at St. Stephen’s, we have a visiting priest or a service of Morning Prayer.
