Welcome to
St. John the Baptist Anglican Church
'Passion for God - Compassion for People' 

We recognize that we live, work, play, & pray
on the Unceded, Traditional Lands
of the Cowichan Tribes  &  Coast Salish People.

We commit to the work of reconciliation
& relationship-building with our First Nations neighbours. 

The Anglican Parish of St. John the Baptist
has been a part of the downtown Duncan community for more than 110 years.
We gather to worship & grow spiritually, to serve & participate in the community's life.

We Welcome You!

Almighty,
We, the children of your creation,
invite you into our circles.
May your light & peace fill our lives,
driving away the darkness of distraction & despair.
May your truth flood our thoughts & actions.
May we forever walk with you in the journey of life & faith.

May our hearts be humbled to always reach out to you.
May your strength & love bless us
to be a blessing to all who journey this circle of life & ministry.
Through your Son, the Peacemaker,
Jesus Christ. Amen.

The return of beauty.
A glorious journey.
Promise & invitation given & fulfilled.

Life & love begin the circle again.

A beautiful time:
as simple as a crocus pushing petals out to greet the sun,
as complex as continuing in faith
heeding the call & ministry of
Jesus Christ.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
