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?
Are you looking for a liturgical church?
Do you like smaller churches?

If you answered yes to any of these, we might be a good match for you. Come check out St. John the Divine Episcopal Church and see for yourself!

All are welcome!

New Clergy Coming to St John the Divine!

A note for our new clergy!

To the Beloved Community at St. John the Divine,

Hi there! My name is Nate Irvine, and I am so excited that the Spirit has opened the doors for us to collaborate in ministry! As you may have already heard, St. John’s has called me to be the deacon in charge starting June 1. I’ll be ordained to the priesthood on August 29, at which point I’ll be the priest in charge.

Perhaps you’ve been a bit curious about who I am and what I’m about, so I wanted to share a little bit about me: I absolutely love building relationships with people, and I am passionate about creating space for everyone to connect to God and each other. I’m a Canadian from Chicago, which, try not to hold this against me too much, means I’m an avid Cubs fan. I love music, good food, being outside, and being with my wife and son. Danielle and I have been married for 16 years, and our wonderful nine-year-old is named Judah.

I cannot wait to get to know you! Once I start at St. John’s on June 1, I hope to have a good plan in place to meet you all, whether through visits or coffee chats. In the meantime, know that I’m praying for you all and thinking of you, and I cannot wait to pray together on my first official Sunday there, June 7. I hope you can be there!

Until then!

Easter Peace,
Nate+

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.
