We are not The Cathedral Of St John the Divine in New York. We are the same denomination but a little bit smaller and in Wisconsin!
Services are on Sundays at 9 am, in person or live online!
St. John the Divine Episcopal Church is a small, liturgical church in the heart of Burlington, Wisconsin.
And we invite you to check us out!
Learn About St John The Divine Episcopal Church
Our worship style
Are you looking for a church that doesn’t feel like going to a concert? Maybe a church that focuses on love and grace? We might be the right fit for you.
We don’t have stage lights and smoke machines; we have a more traditional style.
Our liturgical services follow the Book of Common Prayer structure. Each service includes readings from the Old and New Testaments, Psalms, and the Gospel.
Feel free to participate or observe at your comfort level.
You’re welcome to attend our services in person, watch our videos, join us live on YouTube, or listen to our service podcast to see if our style suits you!
The congregation of St John the Divine
Our congregation is a diverse blend of people of different ages, races, abilities, political affiliations, and sexual orientations. We aim to spread the love of Christ as a unified congregation.
In addition to worship, we enjoy collaborating both within and outside the church walls to give back to the community that supports us, including hosting artists and support groups.
We also cherish spending time together, whether sharing a meal or having fun. We’d love for you to join us!
Music at St John the Divine
The music at St. John the Divine is traditional but has a twist. We primarily use the Episcopal 1982 Hymnal for most of our music, but we also incorporate other sources if they add to the experience.
We encourage everyone to join in singing, as our collective voices sound better together.
Our organ supports our singing and other musical elements of our service.
We have even used it to accompany a silent film!
The Episcopal Church in Wisconsin
The Episcopal Diocese of Milwaukee was established in 1886. It 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.
