Worship Services

St. John's offers two services each Sunday morning. Both are held in our main Sanctuary, with parking available in the main lot behind the church, the small lot on the west side of the building, an upper lot at the cemetery, and the lot at the corner of Penn Ave. and S. Hull St.

10:30 a.m. Traditional Worship

Our 10:30 a.m. service incorporates traditional styles of music. Both the pipe organ and grand piano are used to play hymns. Traditional responses and prayers are also spoken aloud or sung. Children are invited to attend Junior Church. A clean and safe nursery is provided for children two years and younger. Additionally, we livestream this service.

9:00 a.m. Contemporary Worship

The first of our Sunday services is contemporary and less formal. Worshipers are not expected to know memorized prayers or liturgy since the goal of this service style is to make everyone feel as comfortable and included as possible, even if they lack experience in church. The same sermon is offered during this service, but it is delivered in a less formal style.

First Time at St. John's?

Here are some of the typical questions we get from first-time visitors:

When Should I Arrive? We suggest you arrive about 15 minutes before the service. You can come earlier and enjoy a cup of coffee in our Coffee House, just steps from the Sanctuary.

What Should I Wear? You’ll find a wide variety of dress at St. John’s. Some prefer to wear a suit and tie or a skirt and blouse, while others are more comfortable dressing casually, wearing jeans and a polo shirt. So feel free to come dressy or casual. You won’t have to change your wardrobe to worship here.

What about Children? We know that as a parent you need be sure that your children are in a safe learning environment. And we know that your children are looking for a fun place to learn. We’ve invested a lot to make sure that both of these goals are met. We encourage children to attend Sunday School (classes designed for all age groups) starting at 9:00 a.m., and we also offer Jr. Church during the 10:30 a.m. service that follows the children’s sermon.

What Types of Music Do You Offer? Our 10:30 a.m. traditional service includes classic and inspirational hymns and features our senior and kids’ choirs and the bell choir on various Sundays. If you prefer contemporary worship, you can join our 9:00 a.m. service led by our praise team.

What Are the Sermons Like? We believe that the Bible is both exciting and relevant for our lives today, so that’s how the message is taught. Our pastor’s message is easy-to-understand and practical for dealing with real life. The goal is for you to come away with something that you can personally apply, a way for you to grow closer to the God who knows and loves you.

Do You Offer Communion? We do offer Communion as a way to remember the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is something Jesus told his followers to do so that we do not forget his sacrifice for us. Communion services are held at both services at various times throughout the church calendar.

Parking and Access: Parking available in the main lot behind the church, the small lot on the west side of the building, an upper lot at the cemetery, and the lot at the corner of Penn Ave. and S. Hull St. We also have ADA entries at the door along Penn Ave., with a ramp, and at the back of the church (Door 5)
