Welcome to St. John the Divine Episcopal Church
Are We the Church for You?
- Do you prefer a community-focused church?
- Do you value love, empathy, and grace?
- Perhaps you prefer singing along with the organ rather than a band?

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.
We stand, kneel, and sit during worship—a tradition we affectionately refer to as “pew aerobics.” We perform these actions with meaning and reverence where possible.
However, we understand that not everyone may be comfortable or able to participate, so please do what feels right for you. If you want to sit there, that is fine!
At the Lord’s Table, all baptized Christians are welcome to receive communion. Whether you’re Episcopalian, Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, or from any other Christian tradition, we invite you to join us at the altar. In the Episcopal Church, we believe the Eucharist is a gift from God for all of God’s people.
