St. John's is the downtown Episcopal Church in Boulder, Colorado. We are an inclusive, Christ-centered community reaching out to all who are seeking a deeper spirituality and relationship with God and one another. Our congregation is made up of people of every generation who come from a wide variety of backgrounds - families, children and youth are rapidly growing in numbers. We are an open and affirming, AIDS-aware faith congregation centered on a common faith in Christ.
We are formed and strengthened through a variety of worship services, traditional music, contemplative prayer, spiritual and social justice formation programs, as well as meaningful service within the parish, the local community and in the larger world. The Colorado Haiti Project emerged from St. John's and we are currently building relations with the Episcopal Church in Cuba. Locally we host a monthly Soup Kitchen and help support the Carriage House Day Center for the homeless. For over forty years, we have supported low income housing through the St. John's Foundation.
