St John's Anglican Church

About this church

St. John’s Anglican Catholic Church celebrates Holy Communion Sundays at 9:00 a.m. while meeting inside Memorial United Methodist Church at 804 Gammon Road in Virginia Beach. Founded in 2004, the parish follows the classical Anglican tradition through the 1928 American Book of Common Prayer, accompanied by hymns and other historic Christian music. Its worship and teaching draw on Scripture, the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds, the early Church Fathers, and the Ecumenical Councils.

This is a parish of the worldwide Anglican Catholic Church and the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic States, not a Roman Catholic or Episcopal congregation—a distinction the church explains at length for newcomers. Parish life emphasizes sacramental worship, prayer, Bible study, Christian formation, preaching, friendship, and pastoral care. The priest is available for baptisms, weddings, funerals, visits to the sick, private confession, and spiritual direction. St. John’s also lists support for Union Mission Ministries, the Judeo-Christian Outreach Center, and the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore. Because the congregation uses another church’s building and publishes only one weekly service, visitors should look for Memorial UMC signage and contact the parish ahead of time with accessibility or Communion questions.
