"We believe in a church that respects the past, celebrates the diversity of our city and is not afraid to break out of the status quo to ask questions about the future."

St John’s has been listed in  The Guardian newspaper  as one of the top five cultural highlights of the East End because of our mixture of spirituality and art. If you are interested in family history, read this page to see where our registers are stored.
