Welcome to St John's Church. We see hospitality as key to our mission and would love to welcome you to join us for worship and our community events. If you are visiting for the first time, please introduce yourself to the person at the door and let us know if you have a particular need or if there is anything we can do to help you feel comfortable with us.
