For 130 years, the Chapel of St John the Divine has been a place where people find themselves at home in community and ultimately at home in the family of God. Rooted in worship and prayer, we are also a parish family: a place of friendship, service, learning, and belonging. We gather to celebrate, pray, study, serve our neighbors, and support one another through all seasons of life. We are proud to partner with the North Kingstown Food Pantry, which serves more than 800 local families each month. Whether through outreach, discussion groups, shared meals, or simply time spent together, we seek to grow in faith and in love.

About: The Chapel of St. John the Divine is an Episcopal church nestled in the historic village of Saunderstown on Narragansett Bay. Our parishioners come from all over Southern Rhode Island and beyond. We strive to cultivate a community where people feel known, supported, and at home.

Worship style: Our style of worship is what some call Broad Church. We celebrate Holy Communion every Sunday in a way that is both reverent and down to earth. We prioritize congregational singing and mostly sing hymns accompanied by organ from the Hymnal 1982, with occasional songs from Wonder, Love, and Praise and Lift Every Voice And Sing. Some parishioners like to dress up for church and some like to dress casually; all are welcome.

Parking: Because the Chapel is located within a residential neighborhood, we do not have a designated parking lot. Parking is available along nearby streets. We are located off Boston Neck Road, down Ferry Road, across Willett Road onto Church Way. Please avoid parking on the Chapel side of Church Way.

Accessibility: We have one handicap-accessible entrance on Church Way, which is labeled. If you are in need of additional accommodations such as larger printed readings or hymns, we are happy to provide that. Please let an usher know.
