St. John's Episcopal Church

First constructed in 1760, St. John’s, Johnstown, was established in 1763 by Sir William Johnson, the British representative of Indian Affairs.  The current church building is the third worship space for the congregation, and was erected in 1837 after fire destroyed the second church in 1836. St. John’s Gothic design and iconic bell tower have served as a downtown landmark for many generations.  The church photo also shows an adjacent brick building purchased by the congregation in 2014 and named “One Church Street”.  Currently housing church offices, the parish intends to relocate their Food Pantry and NOAH meal ministry to One Church and to continue their tradition of “250 years of faith serving the community in the name of Jesus Christ.”
