Welcome to the Episcopal Church of St. John the Baptist!
We welcome you to our webpage!
Our church building is located in Linden, New Jersey and our parish members come from Linden, Roselle, Clark, Winfield Park, Rahway, Islin, Metuchen, Scotch Plains, and Union.
We celebrate our diversity! We are married, single, divorced, and widowed. We are straight, lesbian, gay, and bisexual. We come from a mix of ethnic backgrounds, educational and work experiences, and love the rainbow of colors among us.
Our worship draws on traditions going to the time of the apostles. We praise God in songs from Gregorian Chant, to Anglican hymns, to Spirituals and Contemporary pieces.
Our thinking is contemporary and we are ever discovering God in new and challenging ways and in traditional and comforting paths.
Come and see — there’s a place for you at Christ’s Table with us.
Join us for Sunday Worship at 10 AM
Masks are OPTIONAL.
The Episcopal Church of St. John the Baptist is open for worship on Sunday at 10 AM. We regularly celebrate the Holy Eucharist or the Mass. All baptized Christians of any age and any denomination are invited to receive Holy Communion. Masks are Optional in the church. We respect the decisions of some to continue to wear a mask.
After the Holy Eucharist, we gather for coffee and fellowship in our Parish Hall. We continue to broadcast our services on both Facebook, YouTube and Zoom.

Join us to study the life and ministry of Jesus through the eyes of the disciples using the series The Chosen.
We hold this study weekly in two formats:
Wednesdays at 11:30am, meet in the parish hall to watch and discuss the week’s episode. Please bring your lunch.
Tuesdays at 7pm we meet on Zoom to discuss the week’s episode. Please watch the episode ahead of time. Contact the office or Mother Angie for the zoom link.
We believe in Jesus who promises us: Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.
Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid. John 14: 27
