St John the Divine Episcopal Church, Burlington, WI

The front of our historic church — St John the Divine Burlington, WI

Welcome to St. John the Divine Episcopal Church!

We want to clarify: We share the same denomination as the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York, but we are not them.

We are located in Wisconsin and are a bit smaller in size.

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.
