History

St. John UCC was founded and built at its current location by German immigrants in1887. Its roots stretch back into the Lutheran and Evangelical and Reformed traditions originating in the Reformation and carried forward by German and Swiss families who transitioned to the New World.

We also trace our roots to the Pilgrims and Puritans, who were among the first Europeans to come to North America in search of religious freedom.

 

While our membership has waxed and waned over the generations, St. John’s outreach has been consistently both global and local.
We live into our social justice values with commitment and care.

In 1999, St. John UCC welcomed Iglesia Casa de Oracíon, who holds weekly worship services in Spanish.

St. John UCC is committed to remaining in the community of its origins. We welcome you to the table! Then together, may we build the church to meet the community’s needs of today and tomorrow.
