Life’s biggest moments
At the beginning of life, at the altar, and at the grave, the church tells the same good news: you belong to God, and nothing can separate you from his love.
Baptism
Baptism is God’s gift, not our achievement: in the water, God claims us as his own. We baptize children and adults who are becoming part of the life of St. John’s. If you’re thinking about baptism for yourself or your child, start by worshiping with us on Sundays, then talk with Rev. Ben. We’ll prepare together.
Ask about baptismWeddings
We love celebrating marriages in our historic church. Members of St. John’s, talk with Rev. Ben about your plans. Couples who aren’t members are welcome too: the fee is $4,000, which includes the clergy, music, and the church. The Episcopal Church asks for at least 30 days’ notice and time with the priest to prepare, and at least one of you should be baptized.
Ask about a weddingFunerals
When someone you love dies, call us. We’re honored to care for the members of St. John’s and their families: to pray with you, to help plan a service that tells the truth about grief and about Christ’s victory over death, and to give thanks for a life. If the one you’ve lost wasn’t a member here, please call the office, and we’ll talk with you about what’s possible.
