What style of worship will I find at St John's ?

We do not believe that there is a 'right' way of worshipping God:

  • Jacob heaped up a pile of stones and poured oil on them;
  • Moses roasted a sheep and ate it with his family and neighbours;
  • King David wrote spiritual songs, and sacrificed bulls on a neighbour's farm;
  • King Solomon did the same in a magnificent Temple;
  • Jesus read the scriptures and discussed their meaning in a purpose-built synagogue;
  • St Peter gathered Christians for regular communal meals in people's homes;
  • St Paul encouraged them to sing together and tell one another about God.

We purposefully offer a wide variety of worship styles so you can worship God in a way that suits your needs.

As a general rule, our Sundays begin with formal and traditional worship. As the morning progresses the style and content gradually become more informal and contemporary.
