Welcome to St. John's!

 Who we are as a community of Christ's faithful followers...

We are a hospitable congregation eager to have others join us in our worship, social gatherings and outreach ministries. There are many opportunities to participate in the life of St. John's from lay reading, singing in the choir, altar guild, or simply joining in the fun of monthly fellowship suppers. 

Young children are invited to participate in Godly Play on Sunday mornings where a storyteller retells the stories of the bible using manipulatives and the children are then encouraged to explore their questions about what they have heard through art.

Older children and youth have many opportunities to participate in the life of St. John's through acolyting, lay reading, and the Episcopal Youth Project. EYP is a coordinated effort between St. John's and Trinity Episcopal Churches. The youth focus on serving the larger community through fun activities in combination with various projects such as visiting patients in rehabilitation hospital, providing food for those in need, making infant caps for children in third world countries, and local clean-up campaigns.

We take very seriously our responsibilities to mankind and our community.  As such, we are actively involved in various outreach ministries.  We established St. John's House to reach out to "at risk" children living at Marcum Terrace, a nearby public housing complex.  Four afternoons each week these children are provided a safe, supportive environment, given a nutritious hot meal, tutored and encouraged in their schoolwork, and are provided other educational and recreational activities.

We are actively involved, often in leadership positions, in organizations reaching out to those in need such as:  Faith in Action of the River Cities, Dress for Success, Hospice, The United Way, Highland Education Project, Ronald McDonald House, hospital auxiliary services and Habitat for Humanity.

We maintain a prayer quilt ministry for anyone in need of prayer whether for illness or any one of life's difficulties. Quilts are made by volunteers and placed in the side chapel on Sunday mornings. Following communion parishioners stop and tie a knot in the quilt while saying a prayer for the person for whom it is designated. When every knot is tied the quilt is then given to the person for whom the prayers were said.

The mission of St. John's is Reaching out to all people with God's love. 

St. John's Episcopal Church has offered worship, mission, and outreach in Huntington, WV, for more than 50 years. We offer worship at 8:00 am and 10:30 am Sunday mornings with nursery services provided.
