Whether you've been attending church your whole life or are visiting for the first time, you're welcome here.
Most Episcopal worship services have two main parts: the Liturgy of the Word and the Holy Eucharist. We hear readings from Scripture, pray together, sing, listen to a sermon, and gather around Christ's table to share Holy Communion.
The word Eucharist means "thanksgiving." Also known as Holy Communion or the Lord's Supper, it is the heart of our worship. Each week we remember Jesus' final meal with his disciples, give thanks for God's love, and receive spiritual nourishment to strengthen us for the week ahead.
Our services share the same core liturgy while offering different styles of music and worship, making it easy to find a service that feels like home. No matter which service you attend, you'll experience the same Scripture readings, sermon theme, and celebration of Holy Communion.

This 30-minute service is a peaceful opportunity to hear Scripture, receive Holy Communion, and pray together before returning to the rest of your day. Whether you're unable to attend on Sunday or simply looking for a midweek moment of renewal, you're welcome. Each service also includes the opportunity to receive prayers for healing for yourself or on behalf of someone you love.
5:30 p.m. — Choral Evensong
Led by our choristers, this beautiful 30-minute service of sung Evening Prayer offers a quiet and reflective way to end the workday. Rooted in the Church's ancient tradition of evening prayer, Evensong invites us to rest in God's presence through scripture, music, and prayer before heading home. Held throughout the school year, pausing during the summer.
St. John’s partners with the Westminster Communities in Tallahassee. Together with other Episcopal clergy we staff services on Wednesdays at Westminster Oaks and at Westminster Gardens. We are grateful to bring the presence of Christ to those who are no longer able to attend services at our campus and praying with these individuals in their own space.
