Welcome
St John's is a church for growing people. If personal and spiritual growth are your passion (or even your interest), then you will find a home at St John's.
Our services
The people of God have always gathered as a community, to celebrate the goodness of God, to be instructed from his Word, and to pray to God to meet their needs. Three congregations make up the core of St John's:
- 8am: Our early morning service is a clear strong traditional Prayer Book (AAPB) service. Communion is celebrated every week, with robes, candles and colours, and hymns accompanied by our historic pipe organ.
- 10am: Our family service combines the best of the classical style with the best of contemporary. Structured, but not formal, with full kids program and the Lord's supper monthly, the focus is on both the spiritual substance of what we do together, and also a strong attention to the outsider and newcomer.
- 7pm: Vibrant music, passionate people and powerful biblical talks are the defining features of our evening service. Sunday nights at St John's are a powerful experience!
'Turning point' services: At key moments - baptisms, weddings, funerals - the spiritual reality of our lives is startlingly evident. At these times, it is important to gather with others and before God to seek his blessing. St John's is committed to serving both the church and the community in providing sensitive and spiritually powerful 'turning point' services.
Our mission
God calls his church into being for a purpose. Our passion at St John's is
to be a Biblically vital Christian community
where believers, as well as strangers to the love of Jesus,
grow more and more
into fully devoted children of God
Our vision
As we look in faith to the future, we see God blessing us in our life and mission, so that we will be
men and women, boys and girls,
who as fully devoted children of God,
know love and serve
the Lord Jesus Christ, his church and his world,
in the power of the Holy Spirit,
to the glory of God the Father
