About Saint John's Episcopal Church
Saint John's Episcopal Church in Hagerstown traces its roots to 1744, when a priest first rode over the mountains to bring worship and sacraments to the community. The parish has deep historical significance, having established its first chapel in 1747 and weathering multiple relocations and even fires before settling into its current beautiful American Gothic building completed in 1873. Today under the leadership of Father Rick Swanson and Deacon Susan Wert, the congregation gathers for liturgical worship rooted in The Book of Common Prayer, centering on the Holy Eucharist as the central act of worship. The church welcomes people at all stages of their faith journey and embraces both Catholic and Protestant traditions within the Episcopal heritage. Visitors will find a community committed to spiritual growth, pastoral care, and service to the wider Hagerstown area.
