Welcome to St. John the Baptist Episcopal Church
A place of peace, prayer, and belonging in the heart of Mount Carmel.
For more than 130 years, our red doors have opened to generations seeking connection with God and one another. We are a small but deeply rooted parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Springfield, committed to worship that is both ancient and alive. We worship according to the historic order of the liturgical year, following the Book of Common Prayer and observing the seasons and holy days that mark the life of Christ and the Church.

Upcoming Services and Fellowship Events
Holy Eucharist
We are people of the Lord’s Supper
All baptized Christians are welcome to receive the bread and wine, the Sacrament Christ left us as strength for the journey and a sign of His presence among us.
Common Cup
One of our lay leaders brings a chalice of wine for each person to sip from. The chalice is wiped down between each person using it.
Intinction
Once the cup is presented, the believer is then able to dip the host/bread into the wine and then partake of the intincted host.
You are Welcome Here
We believe that Christ’s love is for everyone.
All people, regardless of race, culture, nationality, gender, or sexual orientation, are made in God’s image and invited to share fully in the life of the Church. Whether you’ve been Episcopalian your whole life, are exploring faith again after time away, or are simply curious, you’ll find a place here. We don’t try to be trendy or theatrical; we simply gather to worship, pray, and care for one another as a family in Christ.
We invite you to join us on Sunday mornings for the Holy Eucharist, or on Wednesdays for Morning Prayer. Come as you are. There’s room for you here.
