St. John’s is an historic parish living the challenge between tradition and innovation.  In this sacred place, we are striving to uphold unchanging gospel truths and values in the context of a rapidly changing community.

St. John’s Church is the oldest English-speaking parish in America, founded in 1610.  The church of St. John’s is a 1728 worship building displaying beautiful colonial brickwork.

These statements are true, but they are not the Church.

WHAT'S HAPPENING

Tornado Relief Mission Team

Update!

The City of Suffolk has set this Saturday, 10 May as their United Community Care Day.  Individuals must be over 18 years old.  Work will begin at 9:00am and end at 1:00pm.  Lunch and drinks will be provided.  Those who are going to assist will meet at the Parish House at 7:30am (please don´t be late) and we will return to the Parish House.

We will assist with clean up of impacted neighborhoods and other projects.  All projects will be outside and you should wear long pants and closed toed shoes.  Bring sunscreen, hats, gloves if you have them.  Women can expect general yard clean up, men will do heavy clean up.  I am sure there will be work for all of us.

Let me know if you can join this Outreach effort by calling 723–2856.  Please leave a message if I don´t answer. ––– Frank Edgar

St. John’s Church is the people who worship here, pray here, learn here, and serve here. There is one more ingredient which underlies it all -- God as revealed in Jesus Christ and experienced by the presence of the Holy Spirit.  It is God who makes us one body and empowers us to be more than we could ever be by ourselves.

The people who are St. John’s change from generation to generation, but one thing never changes; this is a place where God’s people open themselves to His solace and strength, His pardon and renewal.

Come, join us!
