About Us
Who We Are
The people of St. John's come from different backgrounds, different outlooks, and different experiences. Some of our members are the second or third generation residents of the surrounding Glencarlyn neighborhood. Some of us are newcomers to Northern Virginia who have been brought here by new jobs or the military. We include families with young children and those who have retired. We come from many walks of life--government employees of all types, of course, but also teachers, nurses, skilled workers, business people, technicians, and many others.
We come from varied religious backgrounds, too. Some of us describe our religious outlook as "orthodox" or "traditional." Some of us consider ourselves "doubters" or "seekers." But we are all joined together to seek and love God and to reach out in love to one another and the wider world.
Staff and Support

Vestry
Like other Episcopal churches, St. John's has a vestry that provides business and spiritual leadership. We are also part of the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia, the Episcopal Church of the United States of America, and the world-wide Anglican Communion. For a listing of our Vestry members, please check the directory at this link.
History
For over 130 years, St. John's has offered a welcoming, caring spiritual community not just to the people of the Glencarlyn neighborhood, where it is located, but to those who live throughout Northern Virginia and beyond. Learn more about our history by clicking here.
