St. John’s carries a rich history of the Arts in worship and as an outreach to artists and the greater community. The current program year continues this tradition with a full schedule of programs and events including visual art, music and dance. In addition to the long-standing programs including Midweek Music Series new events are consistently being added to the schedule. Unless otherwise noted all Fine Arts events are free and open to the public. St. John’s also provides opportunities for involvement in the Arts, including vocal choirs, handbell choirs and instrumental ensembles.
