In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, this church opens wide her doors and offers welcome to everyone.

If you need a Savior; if you are spiritually weak and seek rest; if you mourn and long for comfort; if you struggle and desire victory; or are a stranger and want fellowship; if you hunger and thirst after righteousness - then St. John's is the right place for you. We don't allow any perfect people to attend - so you'll fit right in!

Our Church

We are a joyful, Christ centered fellowship of believers within the Anglican tradition. Our stated purpose is to "know Christ and to make Him known." As a result, we enjoy a rich and lively parish life and actively support various missions and outreach programs.

Our Mission Statement

Being rooted and grounded in love (Ephesians 3:17), we commit ourselves to knowing Christ and making Him known. With joy, humility and gratitude for God's saving grace in our Lord Jesus Christ, we devote ourselves to well-ordered family life, fellowship and worship - all in submission to godly authority. God being our helper, we dedicate ourselves to works of mercy, love and witness. May we glorify God, enjoy Him and prove zealous for the good works that please Him.

Our People

Though many of St. John the Evangelist’s congregants are previous members of St. John’s Episcopal Church, Huntingdon Valley. After leaving the Episcopal Church, our congregation continues to welcome new faces to our family. We are forging our own new history!

Our Affiliation

Our parish is a member of the Anglican Mission in America. The Anglican Mission is a mission work of the Episcopal Province of Rwanda. AMiA is focusing on planting new Anglican congregations from coast to coast throughout the United States. We invite you to prayerfully join with us in this exciting mission venture.

You may notice that the web site has been reworked. You'll find, among other things:

• a calendar for church events,
• the opportunity to leave comments (only if you are an authorized [logged-in] user),
• the ability to participate in forums (again, only if you are an authorized [logged-in] user),
• and a variety of other changes that are in the works!

Feel free to look around and let us know if you have any questions. Suggestions for other features are welcome!
