Welcome to Saint John's Episcopal Church. We extend our warmest greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!
The purpose of this web site is to inform you about who we are and to encourage you in your relationship with God. We invite you to look around and see who we are and what we are about. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have and we welcome and encourage you to come and worship God with us at Saint Johns.
Saint John's is a mission church that was stablished in Aberdeen, Mississippi in 1847 in the Anglican tradition of the Episcopal Church. Our worship is to the Glory of God and sacramentally centered in the celebration of the Eucharistic Sacrifice of Jesus. Our mission is evangelical: to bring all persons to the knowledge and love of God, and to respect the dignity and freedom of every human being.
We are located at 402 Commerce Street in historic downtown Aberdeen. Saint John's is the only Episcopal/Anglican Church in Monroe County and therefore our mission family is comprised of folks from Aberdeen, Amory, Hamilton and all over Monroe County and we seek to meet the spiritual needs of this diverse county.
We are a church family of persons married and single; young and old; rich and poor; liberal and conservative, our common goal and greatest bond is to follow Christ Jesus, worship God every day in His Holy Church. And to sacrificially give, work and pray for the spread of His Kingdom.
The parish adheres to "the faith once delivered to the saints," revealed by God in the person of His incarnate Son, Jesus Christ, recorded in the Holy Scriptures, to which the teaching and practice of the undivided Church of the first millennium bears witness. In our public worship at St. John, we return our praise to God with the greatest possible reverence in thanksgiving for all that we have been given. We believe wholeheartedly that the traditional worship and devotional practice of the Christian Church speaks as clearly and powerfully today as it did a millennium ago.
We thank you for stopping by our website, and we hope to see you at Saint John's very soon. May God bless you and keep you.
