St. John's Episcopal Church

About this church

St. John's Episcopal Church on Pine Island, with a Saint James City address, holds worship every Sunday at 10 a.m., followed by a coffee hour. Services are Eucharist services, and recent Sunday services are posted online for viewing. The church describes a casual island setting where people dress casually and all baptized Christians are welcome to come forward for communion, with wine administered by intinction, meaning the wafer is dipped into the chalice. The congregation was started in 1975 and has worshipped on Stringfellow Road since 1978.

St. John's belongs to the Episcopal Diocese of Southwest Florida and the wider Anglican Communion. Lay ministries include acolytes, altar guilds, greeters, lay Eucharistic ministers, readers, a choir, and a youth ministry. Women's groups include Daughters of the King and Episcopal Church Women. Outreach reaches island neighbors through Beacon of Hope, the F.I.S.H. organization, and other local partners, and the church hosts an annual Blessing of the Animals each October. Social events such as card and game parties, craft and paint parties, and a mystery dinner theatre appear on the calendar. The church office can arrange weddings, funerals, baptisms, and healing services.
