In the Heart of
your Community, in the frantic rush of the Town Centre
you will find us. A place of Peace and Calm.
Why not drop in and experience our tranquillity
Our
Mission is Simple
We are here to
serve you, worship God and Love the Community in
Jesus
Christ.
Join us in worship, our services are easy to follow and
understand. Whether you worship with us regularly,
are staying in Southend on holiday or on business or looking at faith
for the first time, you will find something that will
guide you through your week.
Here at St John's
you will find relevant teaching, spiritual help with a
touch of modern day realism. We are non
judgemental and welcome you all.
"St
John's the Town Centre Church-in the Market place"
The life of our
country is frantic. We either have no work or we
work very hard indeed- oppressed by deadlines.
It is so important to
have time for ourselves, and for those we love and
have responsibility for. God rested on the seventh
day after his work of creation, and ‘He saw that the
world was good’
We used to have one
day off a week together, namely each Sunday. In this
we were the same as the Jewish people who have
Saturday off together, and the Muslim people, who
have Friday off together. But we have denied this to
ourselves in the name of individual choice. This
means there is now no time in which our Towns &
Cities can be calmer and when we can enjoy
recreation together. This adds to the stress of
modern life.
I hope you can get
away on holiday. Even if you cannot, I hope that you
can find some time for yourself, to be calm &
peaceful, a time to take stock, as God did, a time
that is re-creation.

Our worship has a down to earth approach to it. It is
simplistic with a hidden beauty.
We approach our faith and worship in a practical yet
spiritual way.
We are the Southend Lifeboat Church. Stephen our Parish
Priest is proud to be the RNLI Chaplain.
After visiting us we hope you will take something personal
away with you that is 'concrete', for you to use in your day to
day lives.
