Dear Friends,
If you are looking for a closer relationship with Jesus, you’re in the right place. Come join us at St. John’s and we’ll find that joy together.
If you seek the fellowship of active, involved Christians, you’ll fit right in here. If you seek the liturgical beauty and spiritual uplift of worship in the Episcopal faith tradition, welcome home.
As committed Christians we open ourselves to the saving grace of Christ’s love. In our worship we gladly celebrate God’s goodness. In our fellowship we confidently gather strength from each other, sharing our hopes and joys. As a parish family we stand together: comforting sorrows; giving spiritual and material support.

We conduct one Sunday Service at 10:00am. It is an in-person Holy Eucharist with sermon and music. The service is also live-streamed and recorded on our YouTube channel for our online worshippers.
