Welcome to St. John the Divine Episcopal Church! We want to clarify that while we share the same denomination as the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York, we are not them, for we are located in Wisconsin and are a bit smaller in size.
Are We For You?
- Do you prefer a community-focused church?
- Value love and grace?
- Enjoy traditional hymns with organ accompaniment?
- Are you looking for a liturgical church?
- Do you like smaller churches?
If you answered yes to any of these, we might be a good match for you. Come check out St John the Divine Episcopal Church and see for yourself!
We invite you to review some of our previous services from the comfort of your home to determine if we are the right fit for you.

About St John the Divine Episcopal Church
We are part of the Episcopal Diocese of Wisconsin, a member of the Episcopal Church USA and the Anglican Communion.
Our congregation is a diverse blend of people of different ages, races, abilities, political affiliations, and sexual orientations.
This church aims to share Christ’s love as a united congregation.
Our commitment to Christ involves not only worship but also enjoying helping others. We give back to both internal and external groups to support the community that supports us. Our giving and outreach include hosting artists and support groups within our facility and reaching out to assist those in need and less fortunate through local and denominational charities, as Jesus commands.
We also enjoy spending time together, whether sharing a meal or having fun. Families are welcome; we would be delighted if you could join us.
Our Worship Style At St John’s
We are a liturgical church that follows the Book of Common Prayer. Our service features scripture readings, hymns, and instrumental organ music.
You are welcome to participate at your comfort level, including through our online options. We stand, kneel, and sit during worship, which we humorously call “pew aerobics,” but we perform these actions with meaning and reverence. However, we understand that not everyone is able or comfortable with these movements, so we invite you to do whatever feels comfortable for you.

The Episcopal Church in Wisconsin – Now One Diocese
Established in 1886, the Episcopal Diocese of Milwaukee had evolved significantly by 1928, shaping its character amidst Milwaukee’s urban growth.
Since its establishment, the Episcopal Diocese of Milwaukee has been a beacon of social justice. Its commitment to addressing issues such as poverty, race, and gender is reflected in its Anglo-Catholic worship and inclusive leadership. The 1987 ordination of the first female priest and the 2014 move towards full LGBTQIA+ inclusion are significant milestones that further underscore this commitment.
In 2024, Milwaukee joined the Dioceses of Fond du Lac and Eau Claire, forming the Episcopal Diocese of Wisconsin, honoring its diverse and adaptive history while looking forward to a unified future.
