St. John's Church Detroit

St. John's Church Detroit Glorifying God through traditional Anglican worship; knowing Jesus through Scripture and Sacrament; sharing His love with neighbors St. John's.

John’s Episcopal Church was organized in December of 1858. Our earliest members embodied the ingenuity and toughness of 19th century Detroit—business owners, merchants, craftsmen, soldiers, lumberjacks and farmers. Our diverse membership was woven into the fabric of the emerging city, and necessarily committed to the flourishing of Detroit. Our chapel was completed in 1859 and church building was

completed in December of 1861. John's has seen our neighborhood change from farms and orchards to residential, to commercial, and then derelict. The tide began to turn with the renovation of the Fox Theatre, across the street from the Church. The Tigers new ballpark, Comerica Park, opened next door in 2000, and the Lions' Ford Field opened two blocks away in 2003. New housing also began to be built, but the recession in 2008, and subsequent City of Detroit bankruptcy in 2013, delayed or scuttled many projects. In 2014 development began again in earnest with the announcement of the ambitious District Detroit plan to spend $650 million to re-develop 50 square blocks of the neighborhood around St. This ongoing project includes retail, residential, and the new Little Caesars Arena which hosts the Detroit Red Wings,Detroit Pistons, concerts and other events. Other developers have also begun major projects in the neighborhood. Although some work was delayed by Covid19 in 2020, much has now resumed. Through all the chances and changes of the neighborhood and metro Detroit, what has not changed has been the Faith in Jesus Christ for which our founders erected our glorious edifice. Attracting members from all of Metro Detroit, we are excited to be a part of the rebuilding of the neighborhood. In cooperation with our neighbors, we do Our Lord's work in the comprehensive social, cultural and spiritual renewal of Detroit.

“My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Blessed Sacrament, I love you above all things and I desire you in my soul. Since I cannot receive you now sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my soul. As though you were already there I embrace you and unite myself wholly to you; permit not that I should ever be separated from you. Amen”. - St Alphonsus
