Welcome to St. John's Episcopal Church! We are a warm, vibrant, and caring community where everyone is welcomed. Our parish mission is "...restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ."

Our congregation includes people of all ages from Pleasantville, Hawthorne, Thornwood, and Valhalla and other neighboring communities. The membership is composed of converts from other faiths, mixed-faith families, lifelong Episcopalians, converts and seekers. We are very involved in outreach, both locally and abroad.

We celebrate the Holy Eucharist at three Sunday services:

At 8 a.m.
The Rite I service is solemn and spoken, with no singing.
At 9:30 a.m.
Rite III is a unique, lively service of music and worship for families and young children.
At 10:30 a.m.
Rite II is the traditional service with choir and organ music.

Although we normally have three different services, our members also come together for several combined services throughout the year. We also share and enjoy many parish-wide activities, as described on this website.

St. John's Church is commmitted to:
• Nurturing in the Christain faith for both children and adults.
• Outreach activities that support many diverse needs of people
   beyond our parish and local community.
• Pastoral support of our members and visitors.
• Opportunities for diverse worship experiences.
• Team ministry.

If you are in the neighborhood, please come in
and worship with us.

Blessings,
Father John
