To love others in the name of Christ by warmly welcoming all newcomers and by extending our Christian witness beyond our parish, reaching out to people in need.

On behalf of the people of the Episcopal Church of St. John the Divine and Preschool, I welcome you to our parish life and mission. It could be that God is calling you, your families and friends to join us here in our parish in the South Silicon Valley area.
St. John's parish is an inter-generational community that encompasses the beautiful diversity of people who are drawn to worship in the Episcopal Church tradition.
St. John's Episcopal Preschool is located on our campus and includes a quaint cottage classroom and a new classroom building. We offer a Preschool Program and summer camp for children from ages 2 1/2 to the pre-Kindergarten ages. Our Preschool and staff are committed partners with parents to help mentor children during the Preschool years.
We are called to be a mentoring community for our youth and we encourage the entire family to be at worship together. We are mindful of the words of Jesus regarding the kingdom of heaven belonging to children, and so we offer a Family Eucharist at 9 a.m. on Sunday mornings. This worship service allows young children to be regarded as full participants and not seen as "distractions" to the adults. At 8 a.m. on Sundays we offer a Rite One Eucharist from the Book of Common Prayer. At 10:30 a.m. we celebrate a Rite II Choral Eucharist.
We are blessed to have an active music program. Virginia R. Scott directs our Divine Jubilation HandBell Choir and our Chancel choir. Our Handbell Choir offers a learning and performance program for those who enjoy ringing. Our Pianist/Musician is Sandra Marlowe.
"Simply Divine" is the name of our Episcopal Women's Craft Guild. They are active in creating handmade soaps and bath products, Ukrainian Easter Eggs, making a variety of Prayer Bead Bracelets.
St. John the Divine Episcopal Church is an intimate and caring community where the rector is accessible and where you need not be anonymous. You can really make a difference in our parish life by becoming a part of our worshipping community and we hope that we can touch your life with a friendly welcome and warm care.
I invite you to join us as we support one another in our faith adventures.
