An Introduction to St John's Church

The Parish Church of St John has, over the centuries, served as a focal point and meeting place for Christian Worship. The story began two thousand years ago with the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The history therefore is not simply of stone and mortar, but of generations of people. It is a living history whose story continues, as day by day new pages are written as the people of God in this place seek to reflect his love and respond to the needs of the world around.

The words of our Mission Statement express a desire to be active, visible and relevant:

"St John's Church strives to be a beacon of faith and a focal point of the community
where people grow together in God's love"

The vitality of our corporate life finds its expression not only through regular Sunday services, but additionally through a number of groups listed elsewhere on this site.

The Parish Church of St John is alive and has a fascinating history. As you explore this beautiful building, ponder the faith which built it and sustains it still. Remember:

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and for ever." Hebrews 13:8
