St. John's Episcopal Church, Gothic Revival church in Montgomery, Alabama

St. John's Episcopal Church is a Gothic Revival church at 113 Madison Avenue in Montgomery, Alabama, designed by the New York firm of Frank Wills and Henry Dudley and completed in 1855. It replaced an 1837 brick sanctuary on the same city block; when that older building was torn down in 1869, its bricks went into an addition to the new structure, which was enlarged again in 1906.

The parish was organized in 1834 and moved into a brick sanctuary at Perry and Jefferson in 1837; the present building was completed in 1855 facing Madison Street. In 1861 it hosted the Secession Convention of Southern Churches, and Confederate President Jefferson Davis attended services while Montgomery was the Confederate capital. Union Army orders closed it in 1865; it reopened in 1866.

The parish was organized in 1834, and the present church, finished in 1855, was designed by the New York firm of Frank Wills and Henry Dudley. Its rector from 1898 to 1901, Edgar Gardner Murphy, led the campaign that founded the Alabama and then the National Child Labor Committee.

The church is located at 113 Madison Avenue and welcomes visitors, though advance notice helps ensure someone is available to show you around. Visiting outside of service times works best if you want to explore the interior without interruption.

In May 1925 a bronze plaque honouring Jefferson Davis was dedicated at the church; the Tennessee state librarian John Trotwood Moore, a defender of the KKK and lynching, gave the speech. A pew was dedicated to Davis in 1931. In 2019 the vestry voted to remove both the plaque and the pew from the sanctuary and move them to the parish archives.
