A part of the Episcopal Church of America, the St. John Episcopal Church is known for it's traditional services and it's wonderful choir. Sunday service is held at 8am and 10am, while on weekdays Prayer is at the Bethlehem chapel at 9am and 5.15pm. Besides this the various ministries of the church are involved in the local community from youth programs to outreach programs; believing service is as essential as worship for spiritual growth and a truly Christian way of life.
