Welcome to St John’s!
We are a small, friendly church family located right in the heart of King’s Lynn, inside the beautiful, award-winning public park known as The Walks. We love our local area, and we are dedicated to being a supportive space for everyone who lives here.
Our goal is simple: to share hope, love, and practical kindness with each other and our wider community, while listening to and helping those in need in today's world.
Please know that absolutely everyone is welcome here. You don’t need to have a specific background, hold any particular beliefs, or have ever stepped foot in a church before to join us.
A warm, relaxed welcome is waiting for you at any of our weekly services, community gatherings, or social events. Come exactly as you are, we would love to meet you!
