Sunday mornings
Queensdale &
East 38th Street
We have a parking lot
off East 38th Street.
And, there is street parking.
HSR 23 serves Upper Gage
HSR 22 travels along Queensdale
HSR 21 goes down Fennell
There’s a nursery for parents to do baby care;
and a during-worship surpervised program for young children.
The accessible building has an entry ramp,
wheelchair washroom,
and space available among the pews
in the sanctuary.
If something inside of you is nudging you to seek GOD, church is an option, for sure. The suggestion would be to try a few Sundays in a row to get a ‘good feel’ for St John; to see if your relationship with GOD can be clarified and nurtured in the company of others seeking this same heart choice.
Curious?
this is what happens in our worship time:
we sing
we pray
we read
we listen
we laugh
we ponder
we think
we hope
then we go into the cafe for 15-30 minutes of casual chatting together with a cup of coffee or tea, and homemade cookies (gluten-free included).
Did we say homemade, oh ya, we did say that!
As Christians, we value worship, friendship, and JESUS.
We like cookies just because pretty much everyone likes cookies.

We know that stepping into a church might be intimidating. It’s important to feel comfortable when a place is new(er) to you. Why not get your questions answered?

What people are saying …
“There’s just something about this place.”
”I felt GOD’s presence so vividly.”
“The welcome and first prayer is beautiful and prepares my heart to worship.”
“The praise team with vocalists, guitars, djembe, and piano is uplifting; it’s inspiring to sing in this church.”
“It is important to me to understand things, even more complex stuff like the Christian faith - as laid out in the Bible. Here at St John, it’s obvious that we can think through things together.”
Mission Statement
To go near and far, sharing the good news of Jesus; living and working so that all may come to know, love, and follow Him wholeheartedly.
Vision Statement:
To transform today’s world by enabling people to live in Christ and for Christ.
Be encouraged by good news:
All over the world, GOD’s Spirit is stirring up a hunger to seek Him in people who have never felt that before,
and GOD is growing a desire for a deeper love and commitment to Jesus in those who already follow Him.
So, as we arrive in springtime, in the midst of any upheaval (personal or otherwise), may we (St John Church) be a surrendered, willing vessel for GOD to fill with His love and presence, a place where people find Jesus, and, a body that is anchored in the truth of Jesus.
Come,
Lord Jesus, come!
Shape us.
Fill us.
Inspire us.
Send us.
The world is waiting.

We want GOD to kindle our hearts.
We seek to know
and be known by
our Heavenly Father
who planned that His Son
come to visit us,
stepping into sandals
on the feet
of a man
named JESUS.
For 33 years, GOD was actually right here with us, walking around (incarnate), living on the planet.
… as a …
*Baby in a manger
*Boy living in a village
*Teenager learning carpentry
*Mentor to the 12 disciples
*Teacher of the Holy Word
*Healer of all manner of diseases
*Friend to the poor and insignificant
*Preacher to huge outdoor crowds
*Man-God on a Roman cross
*Saviour raised from Death to Life
*King ascended into Heaven
- after all that.
This sounds (and frankly is) a lot to take in, and you might be wondering some things.
Here’s a link to the BIBLE PROJECT. It’s an awesome spot to learn more no matter where you’re at on your faith journey. This clip explains a bit about JESUS.
This is a solid question:
WHY would someone value the Bible?
Tim Mackie (of The Bible Project) speaks to this:
Worship matters
to GOD,
and to me,
and likely to you.
… our worship
of Him
truly matters.
There’s something about being together
in this sanctuary with everyone.
It’s a blessed inner-life experience:
singing contemporary worship songs,
praying and listening to prayers,
being honest and humble
before our GOD who loves us
as we seek to know and be known by
this incredible GOD we worship
through songs, reading the Bible,
and taking in the sermon
each week
…
that in this
worship experience
we might
honour our Heavenly Father
and be open for change
to happen
in our hearts
and
in how we live,
in the things we do,
as
we
draw
closer
to JESUS
and
as
we

If you live in Hamilton (or nearby), and want to try this evangelical United Church experience with us, that would be great.
The service starts at 10:00 AM, and ends around 11:00 / 11:15 AM - depending on the Sunday.
During church, our Praise Team leads us in singing about six contemporary songs mixed with hymns; we read a few verses from the Bible; we watch a short inspirational video on our big screen; there is a 15 to 20-minute sermon; we pray; then we head into the cafe to chat together with a mug of coffee or tea and homemade cookies (regularly there are GF treats).
It’s so good to talk together as friends, a privilege really, being in-person.
