Welcome To St John the Divine in Burlington, Wisconsin!
We are NOT the Cathedral Of St John the Divine; you want this page.
If you are looking for a church that is an alternative to praise bands and a more traditional flare, we could be a good fit for you!
We open our red doors to the greater Burlington Community with a traditional style of service without being stuffy.
St John, the Divine Episcopal Church, is a small, eucharistic-based, liturgical church that is part of the Episcopal Diocese of Milwaukee and, in the broader scope, the Episcopal Church USA and the Anglican Church Community.
Our worship style is like a Catholic Mass with a Lutheran twist.
We believe our church is more than just a building; instead, it’s all of us. We are a group of people who wants to help others and show Christ’s love to our community and world.

Worship Style
Rooted in Tradition
Our worship style is more traditional (bells, candles, processions, chants, and more), but yet approachable, or low church, for those not used to our style.
The service comes from the Book of Common Prayer. Seasonally we go between Rite 1 and Rite 2.
When you join us, we encourage you to participate or observe as your comfort level allows.
We invite you to check out one of our services in person or watch one of our videos to see if we might be the right fit for you.
Congregation
We mean, all are welcome.
Our congregation is a mix of ages, races, abilities, political affiliations, and sexual orientations. Together we form a congregation with one goal, spreading the love of Christ.
Besides worship, we like to work together within and outside the church walls to give back to the community that supports us.
We also use our building for artists and support groups.
The congregation loves enjoying a meal or fun time together. We would like you to join us!
Music
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!
Music at St John the Divine is traditional with a twist; we use the Episcopal 1982 Hymnal for most songs, liturgical music, and chants. We do use other sources to add to the experience.
We encourage all to sing!
When we sing together, we sing better than anyone of us alone.
To support our singing, we use our organ, plus we use it for other music in our service.
We have even used it to accompany a silent film!
