What we have been . . .St. John's Church has been a community of prayer and ministry in Saugus MA for 117 years. Since 1888, the people of St. John's Church have striven to worship in a manner that brings glory to God. We have been blessed with a beautiful and spacious facility in which to worship, learn, enjoy fellowship and reach out to the community, the nation and the world. Who we are . . .We are a Christian community that seeks to nourish people in their spiritual life. We are part of the Episcopal Church in the United States and part of the 73 million Christians in thirty-eight countries that make up the world-wide Anglican Communion. Our expression of Christianity celebrates unity in diversity, responsible freedom in the context of faithful obedience to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
As a worshiping community, we follow the practice of early Christians through emphasis on regular breaking of the Bread of Life and sharing the Cup of Salvation as we gather for worship on Sundays and during the week. As a loving community, we desire to provide support of members who in daily life are attempting to grow into the reflection of our Lord. We try to be sensitive to the needs of newcomers as well as long time members. As a teaching community, we try to offer classes and groups for the spiritual nourishment of all ages. Through a variety of groups and classes, we support one another in our common life to grow and delight in our life in Christ. As an evangelistic community, we try to bring the Good News of God's saving acts to others. Through reaching out to people in need and through hosting classes that provide information about the Christian faith, we hope to spread Good News. All are welcome. All are invited to share with us as we grow in our love of God and faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ. What we hope for you . . .As the loved people of God, we attempt to live our lives together, share our dreams together and share our personal skills and resources in order that we may reach out with the power our Savior has given us. If you are seeking a responsive Church home, we would be enriched by your joining with us as another of the Loved Ones of God. We will try to help you find your place as an honored, important part of the Body of Christ. |
