St. John AM Church Inc. A Congregational Community Fellowship Ministry

St. John AM Church Inc. A Congregational Community Fellowship Ministry A faithful body of believers committed to serving God and the community by the power of the Holy Spirit and our Lord Jesus Christ. St.

John has a very rich history. The first written history places the first meeting of the church (St. John AUMP Church) in 1855, but oral history places the first meeting in 1848. The cabin was used as a church and school where female neighbors came to instruct the students free of charge. Unfortunately a fire in the early 20th century destroyed the original structure in 1866. Church members deeded

to erect a new edifice which was completed 1867, at a cost of $1000. Throughout new roads and the development of the University of Delaware, St. John
remains a beacon of steadfast light declaring the goodness of Jesus Christ. We have come a very long was a congregation and as a people since the early years of our beloved church. John has much to be proud of- we have a small but beautiful church; we have accomplished many amazing ministries, and we have a pastor we love a respect. Most importantly, we have continued blessing from our heavenly Father. Our church continues to be just as important in our community today as it was in 1848.
