St. John's-In-The-Prairie, Episcopal church building in Forkland, Alabama.

St. John's-In-The-Prairie is a wooden Gothic Revival church built in 1859 to designs by Richard Upjohn, moved across the Black Warrior River to Forkland in 1878. Its board-and-batten walls, pointed windows and steep roof follow Upjohn's rural church pattern. The building was recorded by the Historic American Buildings Survey as AL-255, with four photographs.

The congregation was organized in 1834 by the missionary Caleb Ives and gained parish status in 1838, with the Rev. John Avery as first rector. The wooden Gothic Revival building was erected in 1859 on a plantation south of Greensboro to designs by Richard Upjohn, then serving as a Methodist church. After the Civil War the planter, in conflict with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, converted the congregation to Episcopalian and had the structure moved across the Black Warrior River to Forkland in 1878.

The building began as a Methodist church on a plantation south of Greensboro. After the Civil War the planter built a saloon from his ruined plantation house, fell out with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and converted the congregation to Episcopalianism. The church was moved across the Black Warrior River to Forkland in 1878.

The church stands on County Road 4 in Forkland, Greene County, and was listed on the National Register on November 20, 1975, under survey number AL-255. It remains an active Episcopal congregation, so arrange any visit through the parish rather than expecting set opening times.

The 1859 building was originally Methodist, erected on a plantation south of Greensboro to Richard Upjohn's designs. After the Civil War the planter fell out with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, having built a saloon from the ruins of his plantation house, and in 1878 the structure was moved across the Black Warrior River to Forkland and became Episcopal.
