St. John's Episcopal Church

About this church

St. John's Episcopal Church in Decatur, Alabama, is a parish of the Diocese of Alabama within The Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion. Sunday worship centers on the Holy Eucharist, offered at 8:00 a.m. in the traditional language of Rite I and at 10:30 a.m. in the more contemporary language of Rite II, when a full choir leads the music. A Wednesday Holy Eucharist with prayers for healing meets at 12:10 p.m. in St. Mary's Chapel, and the church livestreams its worship.

Sunday School for all ages meets at 9:30 a.m., and a nursery cares for children from eight weeks through pre-K3 on Sunday mornings. Children in K4 through third grade take part in Godly Play and Children's Chapel, and youth groups serve fourth grade through twelfth grade. Adults can join a weekly Bible study led by the rector on Wednesday mornings, a monthly caregiver support group, or Theology on Tap, an informal Thursday evening gathering at a local deli. Outreach includes a monthly beans and rice distribution and volunteer help with ShowerUp Decatur. The church is at 202 Gordon Drive SE; confirm current times on the website.
