The parishioners of St. John's Episcopal Church invite you to join us on a
spiritual journey. St. John's Church is a eucharistically based faith community
of neighbors and families celebrating different understandings of the Christian
faith within the Episcopal Church. As we attempt to live out our call to be the
body of Christ in the world, we strive to be a beacon of justice-seeking and
creativity, and to honor St. Benedict's teaching: "Let all who enter here be received
as Christ." St. John's, a community of individuals from many religious backgrounds,
is located at the intersection of Revere Street and Roanoke Avenue in the Sumner Hill
section of Jamaica Plain.
Please join us for Sunday worship at 10:30 AM each Sunday (includes Sunday School and child care). Visitors are warmly welcomed to coffee and conversation following the service.
Current Events (see our calendar for more)
JP Concerts
Ongoing: St. John's has a new arts outreach program, fueled by the increbible energy of Ken Brooks and Peter Terry, called JP Concerts. This is music for the whole community, so they are trying to make concerts accessible to everyone. Many are free, and the others are cheaper than going to a movie. The venue just can't be beat - our own beautiful sanctuary! To learn more about JP Concerts and its upcoming events, visit the JP Concerts web site.
Parish Work Days
A Half Day Each Month: Parish Work Days are a great way to get involved, meet other parishioners, and help the Church save money as we struggle to maintain our beautiful space. For information on upcoming Work Days, please click here.
