Frequently Asked Questions

How do I join St. John's?

Call the church office if you wish to be recorded as an active member of the church. If you were an active member of another church or parish prior to coming to St John's, then you will be asked to provide the contact information for the church that has your records and our staff will make the official request for you to transfer into this parish.

Once your membership process has been completed, our New Members - Host Committee will be in touch with you. You will also be mailed a nametag. Members wear these on Sundays. Please wear yours so we can get to know you more quickly.

Confirmation classes are offered prior to the Bishop's regular visit to St. John's. The bishop's visitation occurs about every 18 months. The confirmation class is designed for anyone 16 years old or older who would like to know more about Christianity and the Episcopal Church. Confirmation is expected of adult members in good standing. While no longer the doorway to receiving Holy Communion, this rite allows one to enjoy the fullest degree of membership in the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion. Confirmation also is required for one to be elected to the Vestry or to the Diocesan or General Conventions.

What do we do if we want to get married at St. John's?

If you desire to schedule a wedding at St John's, please set up a meeting with the Rector to begin the process. Either the bride or the groom will need to be a baptized member of the church.
