Worship at St. John’s

Worship is music-filled and traditional, with classic hymns played on our centerpiece Hendrickson organ, accompanied by vocal and instrumental music, members and guest musicians.

Children are at home in our church. A brief “Word of the Week” message for children of all ages is offered each Sunday by our Cross+Generational Minister, after which time your children are welcome to remain in the pew with you or are free to play and learn in “Grace Space,” the children's area in the sanctuary. Nursery care is available for younger children.

We have an ADA accessible entrance available on the lower level of the church building, under the awning labeled “Church Office.” An elevator is also available there.

There is no dress code at St. John’s - please, come as you are.
