St. John's Episcopal Church

About this church

St. John's Episcopal Church serves Tampa's Hyde Park neighborhood with Sunday Holy Eucharist at 8 and 9:30 a.m. The 8 a.m. service follows traditional Rite I; the 9:30 service uses Rite II and includes organ and choir, with a livestream available. Midweek Eucharist is celebrated in the chapel Wednesday at 12:15 p.m. and Thursday at 12:15 p.m. with healing prayers. Episcopal worship centers on the Book of Common Prayer, and the church's visitor page explains that Holy Eucharist may also be called Communion, the Lord's Supper, or Mass.

The parish describes itself as a historic, Anglican-rooted community focused on worship, formation, music, and outreach. A nursery is open during both Sunday services. During the school year, children from pre-K through fifth grade begin with their families at 9:30, follow an acolyte to a child-friendly chapel during the Gospel portion, and return at the Peace. Sunday School for additional ages follows the later service. Music is a defining feature: Anglican hymns and choral works shape 9:30 worship, and the annual program extends to concerts and Evensong. A first-time household can choose the quieter Rite I hour or the choir-led Rite II service, while families wanting Children's Chapel should confirm the school-year calendar.
