Your welcome
Can I come to a service at St John’s if I am not a Christian?
Everyone is welcome to come to St John’s whoever you are: whether you are a Christian, a person of another faith or of no particular faith. No one will question your right to be here. All you have to do is come in!
If you are not familiar with a church service you may find that you do not understand why we do or say certain things and what they mean. The minister in charge will be happy to chat with you and to explain and guide you if you wish. We also run courses: Explorer and Confirmation Groups for Adults and Children. However, the choice is yours. You may simply want to be there, to take part, or to sit in a building that has a sacred atmosphere.
St John’s is the town parish church of Devizes. If you live here or are visiting it is your parish church. Even when the church is open and there is nothing going on you are welcome to sit in the quiet, to meditate or pray or simply ‘be’. We want you to enjoy sharing this building with us. This sacred artifact and monument in stone was built by our ancestors for us to come together and open our hearts to God in thanks as we aspire to be the best we can. The very stones speak to us of hundreds of years of prayerful dedication. Come in and let it speak to you.
