Welcome to St. John's!

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.

Boston Harbor Deanery Hosted By St. John's

Tuesday, May 6th at 6PM:  The Deanery gathers representatives from Episcopal parishes throughout the city of Boston, meeting together for fellowship and mutual support. Hosting the Deanery is a special opportunity for the St. John's community to get to know our neighbors, and for them to get to know us. This meeting will feature a light supper together, time to share about our common lives, and practical presentations from the diocese about congregational development and the parish assessment process. It will close at 8:00 with Compline. Everyone from the St John's family is welcome to the meeting, and to contribute to our hospitality. Please come and join us!
