Welcome to the new website of St. John’s Church! We have rebuilt it from the ground up to make it easier to find what you are looking for, whether you are planning your first visit or have been part of the parish for decades.
Visiting and joining
If you are thinking of visiting, start with Plan Your Visit: our Sunday services, what to expect when you arrive, and how to find us. Worship has the full service schedule, and when you are ready for a next step, Membership explains how to join the parish.
Staying connected
The parish calendar lists services, events and gatherings. Subscribe to it in Google Calendar and parish events will appear alongside your own.
Sermons from our Sunday 11 a.m. service are on the Sermons page, with livestreams and the full video archive on our YouTube channel.
You can sign up for the parish newsletter on the Newsletter page, and the Contact page is the quickest way to send us a message.
Giving
Online giving is handled securely by Tithe.ly on the Give page. You can give once or set up a recurring gift, choose the fund your gift supports, and send in your pledge.
Our history, online
This blog is new, too. Alongside news of parish life today, it brings together more than a hundred articles from the parish newsletter between 2007 and 2023: Cemetery Stories, the 2008–2014 renovation of the church, the digs at our earlier church sites, and much more. Use the sidebar to browse them by topic, by series or by year.
The minutes of the Vestry are published here too, once the Vestry has approved them. Volunteers are transcribing the parish’s older minute books, so the archive will keep growing, decade by decade.

Tell us what you think
If a link doesn’t go where you expect, or something seems to be missing, please let us know. Links to pages on our old website should bring you to the matching page here. Comments are open on this blog, too: they appear once the parish office has approved them.
