Our Worship Style at St. John’s

We are a liturgical church that follows the Book of Common Prayer. Our services include scripture readings, hymn singing, and instrumental organ music.

During worship, we stand, kneel, and sit—a tradition we fondly call “pew aerobics.” We strive to do so with intention and reverence.

That said, we recognize that not everyone may feel comfortable or able to participate, so please do what feels right for you. If you prefer to stay seated, that’s absolutely fine!

At the Lord’s Table, all baptized Christians are welcome to receive communion—whether you are Episcopalian, Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, or from another Christian tradition. In the Episcopal Church, we believe that the Eucharist is a gift from God for all of God’s people.

About St. John the Divine Episcopal Church

We belong to the Episcopal Diocese of Wisconsin, part of The Episcopal Church and the global Anglican Communion.

We aim to share Christ’s love through worship, service, and fellowship. Our faith inspires us to support one another and care for our neighbors. We achieve this by hosting local artists and support groups, giving to those in need, and partnering with local and church-based organizations.

We love spending time together, whether it’s sharing a meal, serving our community, or just having fun.

We warmly welcome families and individuals from all backgrounds.
