Collect for St. John’s

Gracious God: By your love you have called us to proclaim with joy the good news of your son: So build us up in the knowledge and love of Christ that we may welcome all people into this community of faith, and show forth our service to you in our service to others; through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.

St. John the Evangelist Episcopal Church is located in the beautiful and historic Ramsey Hill neighborhood just west of downtown St. Paul.

With over 300 active members, St. John’s is a diverse and thriving place to worship and connect. Our faith community is deeply committed to putting our Faith in Action both in the city and around the world in tangible acts of service and repair. Moreover, in the past decade we’ve made the intentional commitment to be engaged in the work of justice for all people. We are home to vibrant youth and children’s ministries. We celebrate an excellent music program. We welcome all people into our community of faith as full participants, no matter your age, gender, sexuality, race, ability, or beliefs. We are a community that finds great joy in being together, in worship, in service, and in play. We are a committed to financial health and generosity to the wider community, having just completed a capital campaign to renovate and revive our 1950s “parish hall” to make it more accessible and available for ministry groups and neighbors alike to gather.

We enjoy being a part of our wider community and have become a hub for our immediate neighborhood with partners like Big Wonder Early Childhood School and Artaria School for Chamber Music, several 12-step groups, a summer Farmers’ Market, and myriad other arts and local groups using our space. Our worship is rooted in the historic Anglican tradition of the Book of Common Prayer with its rich language and emphasis on beauty, while also incorporating new emphases on racial and gender justice and adapting the language and imagery of our worship to be more inclusive of all cultures, races, genders, and sexualities.

If you are interested in learning more about St. John’s please stop by on Sunday morning at our 8:00 or 10:00 am services or contact the Reverend Jered Weber-Johnson.
