St John's Episcopal Church

About this church

St. John’s Episcopal Church in Montclair celebrates Holy Eucharist Sundays at 8:00 a.m. and a music-supported Eucharist at 10:00. During extreme heat, services may move from the church into the air-conditioned Parish Hall, so the homepage should be checked for location updates. The congregation is explicitly LGBTQ+ affirming and invites people of varied identities into worship, ministry, leadership, marriage blessings, and the full common life of the parish.

On the first Sunday monthly, the 10:00 service includes a children’s homily, with children invited forward for an age-focused message. Caring ministries, justice work, and compassionate neighborhood service connect Sunday Eucharist with life beyond the church building. A first-time household can choose the quieter early service or the later musical liturgy and should arrive before the hour for seating and family directions. Anyone attending in summer should verify whether worship has moved to Parish Hall. The calendar also carries seasonal services, formation, and parish events, while the how-we-worship page helps newcomers understand Episcopal liturgy before arriving.
