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.
