Welcome to St. John’s

Located in the heart of Decatur, Alabama, we are an Episcopal congregation made up of about 225 families with a sense of mission and vitality. Grounded in our Baptismal Covenant, we take seriously our call to love God, love our neighbors, and love ourselves.

We invite you to learn more about our leadership, beliefs, history, and parish life below. Most importantly, however, we want you to know that regardless of your church tradition and wherever you are on your journey of faith, you are welcome here.

Upcoming Events

Vacation Bible School

June 23-27

Inspired by The Wild Robot film and book series, St. John’s Camp Kindness invites children to consider how following Jesus’ command to love and look out for others is the very best way to survive and thrive in a wild, wild world. Children will create their own large-scale art projects at the “Craft Cabin,” learn to play handbells at the “Music Hut,” develop their own skits in the “Theatre House,” and discover that kindness can be a survival skill.
