About

Saint John's Episcopal Church in Chula Vista occupies a campus at 760 First Avenue within the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego, offering Anglican liturgical worship steps from the Third Avenue Village dining corridor. Pastoral care and community support extend to vulnerable populations through the on-site ECS Head Start program, a no-cost early childhood education initiative that parallels the family-centered counseling work at WishWell Counseling and Empowerment Center for Kids. The parish also hosts the First Unitarian Universalist Church of San Diego's South Bay campus for Sunday afternoon services, an interfaith space-sharing arrangement uncommon among Episcopal congregations. A columbarium and memorial garden, the latter renovated in 2022, provide sacred burial space for parishioners on a campus close to Memorial Park on Third Avenue, creating a shared civic green corridor in the heart of western Chula Vista. The campus includes a wheelchair-accessible nave, a parish hall available for community rental, Sunday School classrooms, and a gated memorial garden with inscribed niches and landscaped meditation paths.
