Visit St. John's Episcopal School

Welcome to St. John's Church
Thank you for visiting our website. We hope you'll also visit our church. If you do, you'll be joining people who are called to follow God in Christ through love, worship, and service in a nurturing community where all are welcome.
We worship Sundays at 8 (when we don't sing) and 10 (when we do), Saturday afternoons at 5, and Wednesdays at noon (when we offer a healing service in honor of Hump Day). Our Episcopal worship, drawn from The Book of Common Prayer, reminds some of the Roman Catholic church because of our stress on sacraments such as Holy Eucharist (some say Holy Communion) and baptism. It feels Protestant to others because of our Bible-based preaching and teaching. Episcopalians call that the via media -- the middle way. In a divisive, cynical era, The Episcopal Church offers a moderate, balanced approach to growing into the intimate relationship with God that all people of faith share.
A look around our site will give you an idea of the work we do together at St. John's.
But the single most important thing about our church, at this moment, is that you are investigating our web site. Do you really think that's just a coincidence? What are you searching for? How is the God who created you and us alive in your life right now?
Perhaps you, and we, will find that we are called to answer those questions together. We hope so! If you have any questions about St. John's, The Episcopal Church, or life in general, don't hesitate to drop me a line at revjht@msn.com. Write anytime. And remember: God's always listening. My wife has a framed card on the dresser that says it best: "Before you go to bed, give your problems to God. He'll be awake all night anyway."
For now, wherever you are on your journey of faith, may our loving God bless you and those whose lives you touch, this day and forever.
Yours in Christ,
Fr. John H. Taylor
Vicar

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
