St. John's Anglican Church Norway

Beautiful church and very kind staff. It is a welcoming environment, even for non-parishioners.

The Minister was humourous and helpful.

Beautiful Church. Very welcoming. Nice Minister. Mike and Madeleine Clarke

A really beautiful enlightening experience I will definitely go back

NOTE: I am a parishioner and may have some biases. Come and see for yourself.

Anglican churches can vary greatly depending on the needs of the congregation. Some churches like St John's continue to offer traditional worship using the Book of Alternative Services and once a month the old Book of Common Prayer. Some have described this as High Anglican, but to me that means 'bells and smells' (incense and bell ringing during the Eucharist) and we don't have that.

Most attendees agree that the major attraction is the music. We have a recently installed, new-to-us organ and a choir master that does a small recital after the 10:30 service. The choir is excellent and if you arrive early you can enjoy the rehearsal.

This was the first Anglican church in the area and as such has a large and historic cemetery attached (Sarah Ashbridge is buried there). The brick church building itself may appear rather plain but once inside you can get a peak at some amazing stained glass, old wooden pews and a small display of our history on the walls.

I recommend our church highly and you will receive a warm welcome.

ACCESSIBILITY: There are accessible ramps on the north and south sides. The north side has a large parking lot, a new ramp, electric doors and a lift to all three levels. There is an accessible washroom in the lower level.
