We’re a Christian Community

St. John’s is a lively parish of more than 225 families and individuals. We range in age from newborn to our 90s, and we cherish the mix of men, women, gays, straights, children, and elders who make up our community. We are committed to diversity, intellectual discipline, and justice and peace concerns. St. John’s has a long tradition of strong lay involvement and leadership, and we appreciate the variety of experiences and lifestyles that our members bring to the community. We try not to take ourselves too seriously.

St. John’s is an Episcopal church, part of the American branch of the worldwide Anglican Communion. It is often described as a bridge church, because people from both Catholic and Protestant backgrounds find in our service touchstones from their own venerable traditions. We celebrate the Holy Eucharist as our central act of worship. Most Protestants call this service Holy Communion; Catholics know it as the Mass. We welcome everyone to celebrate at God’s table—all may receive the bread and wine.
