St. John's Episcopal Church

St. John's Episcopal Church, Episcopal church in Elizabeth, New Jersey.

Description

St. John's Episcopal Church is a neo-Gothic stone building with pointed arches and a 126-foot tower that rises prominently from the street. Five large Tiffany stained glass windows fill the interior with colored light and frame the spiritual space within.

History

The congregation was founded in 1706 by missionaries from London, and the current stone structure was consecrated in 1860. It served as a major center for Anglican worship during America's early years.

Culture

The congregation gathers here for regular musical performances and welcomes children from fourth grade onward to explore sacred music together. This musical tradition has shaped the life of the church and draws people who care about song and sound.

Practical

The church welcomes visitors during regular daytime hours on weekdays and Sundays, with multiple services throughout the week. Check ahead to see if special musical events or services align with your visit.

Did you know?

The churchyard holds the grave of Jonathan Dayton, who was the youngest signer of the United States Constitution and later served as a senator. His burial place here connects this modest church to a pivotal moment in American founding history.
