LIVE FROM THE CHURCH 11 AM EVERY SUNDAY

WE ARE A CHURCH THAT WELCOMES EVERYBODY.
WHOEVER YOU ARE, WHATEVER YOUR STORY, YOU ARE WELCOME HERE BECAUSE GOD LOVES YOU.

Join us as we gather at church & online

If you are watching our YouTube services or simply browsing our website, you are welcome! Perhaps you find church online easier to be a part of, or maybe these extraordinary times have triggered something spiritual inside you? If you would appreciate some contact, or you have a question, please email office@stjohnscolchester.org.uk and we’ll be happy to respond to you.

May you know God’s peace and presence at this time,

HOW TO BOOK INTO A SERVICE

We are very pleased to be back in the building! We look forward to welcoming everyone to a service soon, especially if this is your first time back to in-person worship. If you’re not quite ready to join us, don’t worry, we will continue to stream our 11am service.

Due to social distancing requirements, numbers for each service will be limited and seats will need to be booked in advance. Sign up to the St John’s Weekly News via the box at the bottom of this page to learn more, or call or email the church office, who would love to help you find the right service for you.

Pastoral Care

If you have any pastoral need or concern then please speak to the leader of your Discipleship Group, Community or contact Mary Anthony and the Pastoral team by email on pastoral@stjohnscolchester.org.uk

Alternatively, you can ring 07597747436 where somebody can be available to listen or link you to someone who may be able to help or support in some way.

Maria writes: “over the last three years, it has been absolute privilege to have journeyed alongside the young people who have come to the Colchester Hub and given a year of their lives to grow deeper in their faith. I have really enjoyed implementing the teaching curriculum and supporting the students throughout their year with us. However, with SJC’s focus on local mission and our heart for serving and supporting our MMP, I am very excited by my new role of ‘Parish Outreach Worker’ where I will be working alongside Rev. Sue Howlett in the Greenstead and St. Anne’s area, serving the needs of those communities. If you have been waiting for local opportunities to be Jesus’ hands and feet in a practical or pastoral way then hopefully there will be various ways to get involved.”
