    About St. John's

    St. John's is a Christian community committed to live out the promises of baptism: to stand in awe of the God known in the ancient Christian creeds; to continue in the Apostles’ teaching and prayers and in the breaking of bread; and to resisting evil, proclaiming the Good News of God’s love, loving our neighbor, and striving for justice.

    We worship the God made known in Jesus, seek to share God's love and our lives by reaching out to our community, especially with those in need, and strive to make Christ known.  

Who We Are

St. John's in Greater Lafayette is known for its beautiful music, traditional Anglican worship, community service, and inclusive theology that embraces faith's complexity while welcoming all to a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
