St. John's Elora is a community of Christian faith in the Anglican tradition known for outstanding choral work, inspiring preaching and liturgy, and generous outreach. Our four priorities are to proclaim the love of Christ, engage and involve people, musical outreach and open doors. You can read more about our Vision here.
St. John's is a member of the Anglican Church of Canada in the Diocese of Niagara.
Open Doors is one of the FOUR PRIORITIES in our Vision to serve the community we live in.
The purpose for this new project is to connect the church building to the Parish Centre (yellow house) with a mutli-use reception hall, commercial kitchen, accessible washrooms, improved HVAC system and electrical capacity. We are at the stages of seeking approvals from regulatory bodies and engaging your support.
