St. John's Episcopal Church

About this church

St. John's Episcopal Church in Camden, Arkansas, gathers for worship on Sunday at 8:00 a.m. with a service of Holy Eucharist. The congregation is part of the Episcopal Church and was one of seven churches present at the 1871 convention that organized the Diocese of Arkansas. The church sits at 117 Harrison Avenue NW, on land at the corner of Harrison and Van Buren that was donated for the building in the 1920s.

On the second and fourth Sundays, the Eucharist is followed by a potluck lunch, which gives visitors a chance to meet members over a meal. A vicar leads the parish with the help of an assisting priest, and an organist plays for services. The church's Hook & Hastings pipe organ was installed in Camden in 1907 and moved into the current building in 1926. It has 548 working pipes and was fully restored in 1994. The parish itself was organized in 1850, the present church held its first service in 1926, and the building was consecrated in 1943. The website lists no other weekly programs, so first-time visitors with questions can call 870-836-2658 or use the contact details on the site.
