St John's

St. John’s Church is a parish of the Diocese of Massachusetts of the Episcopal Church, the American branch of the world-wide Anglican Communion. We are a supportive community of Christian children, men, and women who strive through worship, education, hospitality, and outreach to serve as the Body of Christ in the midst of Beverly Farms, Massachusetts. We hope that you will enjoy exploring this web-site which we hope will introduce you to our common life of worship and ministry, all for Christ’s sake.

Join Our Neighboring Congregations In Welcoming the Stranger -
Asylum seekers are people who have left home because of war, famine, religious or political persecution. RIM offers them community support which is aimed at helping them become productive members of our community. The results of this process are amazing. As one client stated: “You took me from nowhere to somewhere.” Another client insists she would not have survived without her Cluster. RIM also helps resettle refugees who are, like asylum seekers, seeking a safe place to live. Our Cluster assists them from the air port until they are independent.
The North Shore Cluster is expanding and you are invited to become a part of this very exciting ministry. You will work on an interfaith basis with persons from other congregations to offer support services (housing, educational, medical, transportation, acculturation and employment) to asylum seekers until they achieve a durable self-sufficiency.

The Community Shop needs summer clothing, jewelry, and household goods.

Just bring snacks, we have tables set up out front with paper goods, cups, etc. You can buy lemonade/iced tea and bring it in your own cooler, or opt to make some from the mix we have in the kitchen, usually 4-5 half gallons.
