About St John's Episcopal Church
St. John's Episcopal Church, located at the corner of W Lexington Avenue and Third Street in downtown Elkhart, is known by its distinctive red doors and prominent tower. Founded in 1845, the congregation gathers weekly for Sunday worship at 9am in a beautifully restored 1895 building featuring original Tiffany-style stained glass windows and a world-class Casavant organ. The church embraces a Christ-centered mission centered on sharing faith, being joined in love, and active community service. Beyond worship, St. John's operates a food pantry that has served the community for over thirty years and maintains a Giving Tree for the homeless. The congregation also supports global ministry through Episcopal Relief and Development and local initiatives including school supply drives for Beardsley Elementary School and annual family adoption programs at Christmas.
