Our new vicar, Revd. Danny Payne, joined us in September 2024. He is supported by a team of licensed Readers, Churchwardens, and a whole team of people who give generously of their time and gifts to ensure the smooth running of our worship and community events.
The church of St John the Evangelist Perry Barr is a friendly, welcoming group of people, dedicated to spreading God's love through the Sacraments, community work and fellowship. Since 1833 the Parish Church has been a place where God is encountered in the beauty of holiness and in the sacramental and prayerful lives of those responding to God's call. We offer a wide range of activities, ranging from worship, Bible study and prayer groups, to social occasions, community work and fundraising. Whether you are looking to explore your faith or get involved in helping others, you will find a warm welcome from our church community here at St John's.
As a parish church we are here for everyone in the parish. We can arrange Holy Communion at home, and help with planning baptisms (Christenings), weddings and blessings, and funerals. We have a bereavement friendship group, a thriving toddlers' group "The Jesse Tree", and a Youth Club which meets most Thursdays. Please have a look at our calendar and other pages on the website for more details.
Come and find out more about us, about God and Faith, and be reminded that God loves you. We look forward to meeting you.
With every blessing,
Revd. Danny and the St John's Family.
