Welcome to
st JOHN THE
EVANGELIST, Waterbeach
A message from our vicar
A warm welcome to St John’s! We are a diverse and inclusive Anglican parish church of all ages, spanning a number of Christian traditions. We try and avoid labelling: we prefer to express that we are followers of Jesus Christ, who seek to live out the good news of the Christian faith in the strength of the Holy Spirit.
A browse of the website will provide you with details of our Sunday services: our KidsChurch children’s community and Footsteps, our twice-weekly sessions for pre-school children and their parents and carers.
St John’s is a Christian community where we trust you can grow in faith, be free to express your doubts, pose challenging questions and experience the support of a loving and caring church family. Please do feel free to contact me if you have questions about life and faith or just need a listening space - my contact details are on the website.
