St John the Baptist

Welcome to St. John the Baptist Church, Chester! We are a warm and welcoming Church of England parish located in the heart of this historic city. Our doors are open to everyone, regardless of where you come from or where you are on your spiritual journey.

At St. John’s, we believe in embracing the diversity of our community. Whether you are rich or poor, happy or sad, you have a place here. We welcome singles, couples, families, and those who may feel alone. We celebrate the uniqueness of each person and extend our love and support to all.

If you are a newcomer, a lifelong believer, or someone exploring faith for the first time, you will find a welcoming community here. Our services are rooted in the rich traditions of the Anglican Church, yet we strive to make everyone feel at home, regardless of their background or beliefs.

We understand that life is full of ups and downs, and we are here to offer a safe haven for those seeking comfort, joy, or a deeper connection. Whether you’re an artist, a professional, a student, or retired, whether you love soccer, rugby, or a quiet cup of tea, you’ll find kindred spirits here.

St. John’s is a place where you can be yourself, find new friends, and grow in your faith. We invite you to join us for worship, fellowship, and service to our community. Come and experience the warmth and love of our parish family.
