About St. John’s

St. John’s parish is affiliated through the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut. As Episcopalians, our worship life is guided by the Book of Common Prayer. 

As part of Christ’s One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, we celebrate our Catholic and Reformed faith in the rich traditions of Anglican worship. Anglicanism is often referred to as the “Via Media” or Middle Way between Roman Catholicism and mainline Protestantism. Our central act of worship is the Holy Eucharist or the “Mass”.  

Our mission might best be described as “Joyful discipleship gathering people to Christ”. 

We witness that mission in the beauty of the ancient traditions of Christian worship, by our commitment to caring community outreach, through Christian education programs for all ages, and through a collaborative approach to all the ministries of the Church.

St. John’s parishioners make up a diverse, multi-cultural congregation centered around our common life of prayer and worship in the Holy Eucharist.

We are young adults, active seniors, grandparents and parents with children, teens, college students, and families of all “shapes and sizes.” We’re single, married, from all ethnicities, gay, straight, divorced, rich and poor and everything in between.

Some are life-long Episcopalians and many were raised in other Christian denominations who have found a religious and spiritual home here at St. John’s.

All that we are and all that we do is empowered by the grace of God.
