Be inspired, give voice,
nourish your soul.
Hello, and welcome.
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. We are a member of the Anglican Church of Canada in the Diocese of Niagara.
We strive to be a thriving, spiritually nourishing, healthy, welcoming and missional community. Reaching out and reaching in, community engagement, and partnerships are all critical as we build on our past and present strengths. Our ministry together depends on factors such as spiritual authenticity, intellectual integrity, respectful behaviour, the ability to listen attentively, and community hospitality. We move towards the 2030s in a spirit of love with thanksgiving for what we have been given.

Open Doors Project
Open Doors is one of the FOUR PRIORITIES in our Vision to serve the community we live in.
We have received both Synod Council approval and the Bishop’s approval for the project to go ahead. This is a historic time in the life of the parish.
The Bishop has written a letter to the wardens affirming the project. The goal is to make our church spaces fully accessible and to make necessary infrastructure upgrades. Click the link below to read the Rector’s articulation of the Vision for Open Doors.
We currently have $1,112,000 in pledges & donations and $205,000 in community bonds.
