General Info:

We're an historic church. We started on this corner in 1837 and have added or remodeled a building about every 50 years since. Some of our stained glass is perhaps the oldest in town and our nave ( worship space ) is very traditional in its layout. Our offices are housed in the original parish rectory just east of the church, built for our founding priest in 1844 ( four fireplaces, but only one closet, and the Director of Music gets that! ) We are a worshiping church. The texts of our worship are The Book of Common Prayer and its supplements and The Hymnal 1982 and its supplements. In addition to full Sunday worship and educational programs for all ages, we offer public worship on every weekday so that daily prayer is offered on behalf of our entire community by the people of St. John's. We believe this is part of what the Church does, and part of our vocation as a downtown church. Our Chapel of the Resurrection is open to the public for private prayer during all normal working hours. Because how we spend our money says much about our values, last year we gave $69, 451.34 to ministry beyond our walls. Jesus' Summary of the Law, to love God and love neighbor, to live a life of worship and service, is good counsel and we find St. John's helps us do that. We're not perfect, but God isn't finished with us yet, either.
