The Church of St. John in the Square
St John’s parish has been a focus of major redevelopment and regeneration in recent years. The morning services have very faithful and committed people many who have been part of the worshipping community for their whole lives.

Few now live within the district but St John's is discovering a new identity as a City Centre church serving all ages. It is now also the base for Wolverhampton Pioneer Ministries which works with young adults in the City Centre, and Wolverhampton Street Pastors.

The Hope Cafe is open Monday to Friday from 12 until 2pm serving hot and cold food in a beautiful setting.

2008 sees the 250th anniversary of the building of St John's. Read about  ANNIVERSARY NEWS.

St. John’s is a magnificent 18th century building. There is a notable and very fine Renatus Harris organ, which was recently restored. The church has an excellent acoustic and has been recognised as one of the best places in the city for concerts both choral and orchestral. There is a Friends of St. John’s Charity, which has been supported mainly through individual bequests and legacies. It has enabled much needed restoration and refurbishment work to be done on the church.

As the City Centre continues to develop, St John’s is expanding its ministry, making the churchyard a relaxing, comfortable and peaceful retreat in the heart of the City, providing rest and refreshment for shoppers and workers and caring for young adults.
