St. John's, Georgetown
Share a story
At St. John’s we focus on personal volunteer service.
We have adopted a missional attitude of “being with” as opposed to “doing for.” Our hope is to be Jesus Christ in the community—through engagement, direct contact, and personal relationship.
While we still support other ministries with outreach grants, most of these monies are used to fund nonprofit organizations in which committed St. John’s teams provide ongoing service.
Worship times
Kids are encouraged to explore the church space as they feel called. Sometimes, they give real meaning to making a “joyful noise,” and we love it! At St. John’s, children are made to feel comfortable and welcome in church! Two of our priests are moms (and get it!)!
At the 11 a.m. service, we delight in our deep Anglican roots, but without the staunch formality that Anglican services can sometimes bring. The 11 a.m. service is marked by our gorgeous music – with our spectacular organ and our amazing choir. From our opening hymn to our closing hymn, you will hear (and sing) music from both classic composers and from contemporary masters.

Sacred Ground Race Dialogue Circles
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.
