St. John’s Episcopal Church Tampa

Welcome! St. John’s Tampa is a vibrant Episcopal parish located in the Hyde Park neighborhood of South Tampa.  Our mission is to proclaim, by word and example, the good news of God in Christ, and to build a spiritual community forming Christians of all ages through worship, education, and outreach. We aim to make Jesus Christ known, honored, and adored in Tampa and beyond. Please visit our beautiful historic church, hear our choir in the Anglican Choral tradition, and meet our loving Christian community. Not able to join us in person? Watch our livestream services here!

Our Sunday Services:  Join us for a Rite I Holy Eucharist at 8:00 a.m. or for Rite II at 9:30 a.m. Christian Formation for all ages follows the 9:30 a.m. service during the school year. For the short term, we are holding services in the Parish Hall as we do much needed work to the church facility.

Can’t visit in person? Our 9:30 a.m. service is streamed on our website and on our Facebook page, as well as on our YouTube channel. Sermons are also uploaded to YouTubeAccess bulletins and newsletters for Sunday services here.
