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

Hero Academy VBS: Serving like the Saints

Monday, June 22-Friday, June 26 | 9:00 am to 12:00 pm
Inspired by the lives of saints like Francis and Martin of Tours and Therese and Catherine, St. John’s Hero Academy VBS invites children to consider how following Jesus’ call to love and serve others is the most heroic thing of all. Children will create projects in the Hero Maker Design Studio, play high-energy games in the Gamer’s Gauntlet, hear stories of the faithful in the Hero Archives, and relax with a treat or two and the Holy Hero Cafe? All the while, they will discover that we can indeed serve like the saints!

This year, we are partnering with the 3rd Street Boys and Girls Club once more and hope to show God’s love and care to even more children than last year! But this means that WE NEED YOUR HELP! IF you would like to volunteer to help with VBS, read the volunteer descriptions, then sign up next to your desired work area with your name and availability bit.ly/infovbshero
