St. John's is part of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts, one of 106 dioceses in The Episcopal Church. We celebrate our international ties both as part of a multi-national denomination and our historic relationships as part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. We are joined together not by a single creed or statement of faith, but by our shared worship and traditions, shaped by our engagement with Scripture and our reason and experience.
The mission of the church, as stated in the Book of Common Prayer’s catechism, is “to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ.” In step with that mission, The Episcopal Church follows Jesus into loving, liberating, and life-giving relationships with God, with each other, and with the earth.
Here at St. John’s, that means inviting everyone to come as they are and welcoming them as they are, with an invitation to join us in our shared journey as followers of Jesus.
