The Church of St. John the Divine (Episcopal)

St. John the Divine’s programs for children and youth provide a fun, age-targeted environment where infants through 12th grade learn about God and grow in their faith. 

Our local and world outreach focuses on ministry to the body and mission to the world. Opportunities to serve in the church, in our city, and around the world can be found at https://www.sjd.org/go/serving-opportunities/.

The Guild Shop is a non-profit resale shop located in Montrose. We were started in 1962 by the St. John the Divine Women's Sewing Group. Our spacious, but charming shop has been voted "Best Resale Shop" by Houston Press Readers 4 out of the last 7 years - and in some of the "off" years "Best Resale Shop" was not even a category! Our amazing store is a cross between the "Antiques Roadshow" and your grandma’s attic!  The constantly rotating inventory includes jewelry, furniture, rugs, collectibles, household items, art, rugs and numerous tchothckes you can't even imagine at incredible prices! The amazing thing is all of the items have been either donated to the shop or consigned. 

Over the years, The Guild Shop has given financial and in-kind assistance to numerous charities. Our primary beneficiary since 1965 has been St. James House, the Episcopal Diocesan Retirement Center in Baytown, TX, to whom we have given over $4.5 million. This contribution goes to aid those of all denominations who have run out of money toward the end of their life.

The Guild Shop is a ministry of St. John the Divine Church and we have over 150 volunteers, approximately half of whom are members of the church. The other half is a cross sectional mix of people who work hard, enjoy people, and love The Guild Shop!  We are open Monday through Saturday – come see us!

If you are downsizing, moving or have an estate you need assistance with, we can help! Please check out our new service.

If you are redecorating or cleaning out your closets, won't you consider donating quality, gently used items to The Guild Shop? You can drop items off or call to schedule a pick-up. 

The Guild Shop also welcomes volunteers to help serve their customers. Join the fun of year 51!

Sacred Ground is dialogue series on race, grounded in faith.  Small groups are invited to walk through chapters of America’s history of race, racism, and whiteness while weaving in threads of family story, economic class, and political and regional identity. The 10-part series is built around a powerful online curriculum of documentary films and readings that focus on Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian/Pacific American histories as they intersect with European American histories.

Sacred Ground is a resource coming out of Becoming Beloved Community, The Episcopal Church’s long-term commitment to racial healing, reconciliation, and justice in our personal lives, our ministries, and our society.  This series is especially designed to help white people talk with other white people, while being open to all racial/ethnic groups.  Participants are invited to peel away the layers that have contributed to the challenges and divides of the present day – all while grounded in our call to faith, hope and love.
