Our previous vicar, Rev Tony Sophianou, moved to a new post in 2011. The process to appoint the next vicar is ongoing. In the meantime the congregation continues the work of the church with help from a number of visiting clergy.

Almighty God,
the give of all good gifts,
guide with your heavenly wisdom
those who are to choose a faithful pastor for this parish:
that we may receive one who will speak your word and serve your people according to your will;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Whichever way you head towards Goole, the spire of St John's Church is one of the landmarks visible for miles around, along with the dockside cranes and the  'salt and pepper pots' water towers. The spire points upwards from the heart of the town, and that's a good way of thinking about the church that meets there too, firmly rooted in the community and looking upwards – we're here to love God and love Goole.
