St. John's liturgical style is progressive, inclusive and reflective, rooted in tradition. St. John's roots go back to the early 1600s. Worship today is is held in the historic sanctuary, built in 1807 and is also shared online after a significant investment in technology during the pandemic. Music is a real strength of St. John's and unites young and old, church members and the community. The church is blessed by ties to the Black Heritage Trail of NH and Strawberry Banke museum among other community resources. The campus is in the heart of downtown Portsmouth and offers a large sanctuary, parish hall, classrooms, office and newly built atrium for smaller gatherings and worship.
