St John's is a member of the Scottish Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Moray, Ross and Caithness. 

The Church is a welcoming and  inclusive Church that traces its history back to the  beginnings of  Christianity in Scotland. The congregation is a small but vibrant community whose numbers are augmented, especially during the summer months and the skiing season, by visitors from all over the United Kingdom and abroad. Several regular visitors have holiday homes nearby and all of these are welcomed back as ‘adherent’ members. Although the church is situated on the outskirts of Aviemore, our members currently come from a large area from Dalwhinnie in the south to Nethy Bridge and Carrbridge in the north. It includes the villages of Newtonmore, Kingussie, Kincraig and  Boat of Garten .

We are fortunate in being served by  by the Venerable Richard Gillings, Revd Alison Hart, Revd Jennifer Jones,  and Canon Tony Sparham,  licensed as priests for Strathspey and Badenoch.They also minister to St Columba's Grantown. All the clergy are retired and they are supported by a Lay team at St John's. Anne Bridgen and Deborah Munday help to lead worship, but most members of the congregation have a role to play in the Sunday services and the running of the church.
