Welcome

We are honored that you are visiting our web site. St John’s Memorial Episcopal Church, the stone church with the red doors as you enter Ramsey, New Jersey was built as a memorial to Emma Hanchett Crocker, the wife of George Crocker. The church was completed and dedicated as a house of prayer for all people in 1906. A parish hall was added in the 1950's and expanded in the 1980's and 1990's. After being a mission congregation for forty-five years, St. John's was admitted as a parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Newark in 1951. The Rev George Dawson became the first rector. The fifth and current rector is the Rev. Julian R. Eibin.

We are a progressive, Christian community welcoming all who seek a deeper relationship with Christ within a vibrant community of faith.

Our motto:

SEEK the mind of Christ

SERVE the community, locally and globally

CELEBRATE the Love and Grace of God

conveys our deep desire to manifest Christ

in our daily lives,
in our worship,
in our formation as disciples,
in our service to neighbors locally and globally,
and in our striving for a just world.

We believe that we grow best in our Christian life when we find a spiritual home.

Please use this site to access the information you need about our church and as a resource on your spiritual journey.

We hope you will join us on this adventure that is the Christian life.
