St. John’s Park Slope

Share a story

We’re a church that exists to proclaim the gospel!

The first rector of St. John’s, a strong opponent of slavery, planned and built this multiracial parish in 1826, while slavery continued to be the law of the state of New York. We remain a multiracial community that proclaims the good news of peace with God and each other through Christ. 

We are committed to serve God and one another through Anglican liturgy, blended worship, outreach to our community, education of ourselves and our children, and warm fellowship. 

We are still perhaps the most diverse congregation in the Diocese of Long Island. We count among our membership peoples from all over the world and all over the country. We are black, brown, white and all sorts of shades in between. 

You will find a warm welcome here at St. John's and we invite you to participate fully in our life of worship, service, and fun.
