About us
St John the Divine is a diverse community of members who work to making our communities better. We serve God’s people in body, mind, and spirit.
What do we believe
We Episcopalians believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. As constituent members of the Anglican Communion in the United States, we are descendants of and partners with the Church of England and the Scottish Episcopal Church and are part of the third largest group of Christians in the world.
We believe in following the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the world.
We have a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being; women and men serve as bishops, priests, and deacons in our church. Laypeople and clergy cooperate as leaders at all levels of our church. Leadership is a gift from God and can be expressed by all people in our church, regardless of sexual identity or orientation.
We believe that God loves you – no exceptions.

Our Services
We worship Sundays at 9 am in our historic sanctuary.
About our service style
We are a group of parishioners who come together to form our little liturgical church. We are part of the Milwaukee Diocese and the Episcopal Church of the USA. Our services come from the Book of Common Prayer.
Many people find us to be across between the Protestant and Catholic traditions.
Currently, we do not have a priest, so various priests come in to lead a Mass. If we do not have a priest on a Sunday, we have a Morning Prayer service lead by laypeople.
Music at St John the Divine
On Sunday, you can hear various music styles during our worship service. They could include pieces based on Georgian chant, modern, traditional Anglican hymns, or familiar gospel hymns.
We use the organ and our voices to make a joyful noise unto the Lord.
We are accessible for those with mobility issues
If you have mobility issues, we are here for you.
We have a ground-level entrance off of our parking lot. Once in the door, there is a ramp that leads to the hallway to the elevator. After a quick ride up, you are in the heart of our church. Our main level of the building has accessible restrooms, Healy Hall (our church hall), and our beautiful sanctuary.
Are there ways I can be involve?
Yes! There are many ways for you to get involved at or with St John’s! We have openings for readers, flower arranging, and room in our outreach areas as well.
If you are a behinds-the-scenes helper and handy, we have space for you in our building and grounds. If you have a willingness to serve, we will find a spot for you!
