We are a relaxed and lively Anglican church with a desire to reflect the kind of church that is described in the Bible: loving God and serving all. If you are new to St John's we want you to feel welcome.
Whatever your background, situation, where you’re from, what you believe or how you’re feeling – you are welcome to join us at St John’s.
Typically our Sunday services run for at least an hour with a more traditional service in the early morning at 08:30, followed by a family service around 10:30.
Someone will welcome you on the way in and help you find a seat. You can sit where you like and our dress code is casual.
The family service will usually involve some singing with a supporting band, prayer and a sermon. You’re welcome to join in with the singing, sometimes there will be invitation to pray out loud and occasionally the sermon will be interactive. In all these you are as free to not join in as to do so.
If you have children with you then bring them into church – you can decide if you would like them to stay with you in the service or join one of our children’s groups.
It’s also important to know that whilst Sunday is at the centre of our week, many St John’s activities happen outside of Sundays. We have many activities during the week and support many local and distant missions.
