You’re also welcome to join us in worship. At St John’s, we believe church should be a place where everyone feels at home. We’re a diverse and inclusive congregation — whether you’re exploring faith for the first time or have been part of church life for years, there’s a place for you here.
Come as you are. All ages and backgrounds are welcome.
Children are especially welcome — either to stay with their families or to enjoy Orchard Church, a special space just for them.
