Worship with us
a place for everyone
If you would like to sit quietly with the light pouring through our stained glass windows God, we welcome you. If you want to dive right into the life of an active church, we can help you find ways to connect with other people and deepen your faith.
If you have been away from the Church and want to return, we are here to help you worship God in the beauty of holiness. Whether you are a visitor for a special occasion, someone who has entered these doors for a moment of reflection, or are seeking a spiritual home—you are welcome at St. John’s. Here are our most current worship services.
Worship Schedule:
Sunday:
8 a.m. Holy Eucharist
9:30 a.m. Choral Holy Eucharist
In the Heart of Carlisle
grounded in Episcopal belief & practice
On any given Sunday, our pews are filled with people at every stage of life, from the US Army War College, Dickinson College, from lawyers, to teachers, to business people, to doctors, to artists and musicians, to stay at home moms to retired folks.
Our parish is a beacon in Cumberland County with the largest choral program and most active children and youth programs in the Episcopal tradition. Although we are a “destination” parish, we have many lifelong “Carlislians” who were born and raised here. We also have a population who returned to Carlisle after falling in love with the quaint and cosmopolitan town after short assignments here.
We represent the breadth and depth of the Anglican Communion with parishioners hailing from Ghana, Liberia and other parts of the worldwide Anglican Communion. We cherish that breadth of age, experience, and background, and hope you will find a home with us. Newcomers are always welcome!
