Our History



Overview

St. John's has served the community of Fox Lake since 1904. We have had three different buildings, 12 pastors, 29 teachers, and hundreds of students go through our different hallways.

Our First Church

The cornerstone that started it all was laid on June 19, 1904. It held up a building that was our home on Davis Street.

Our Second Building

Our second church was formerly the baptist church that is presently standing at 210 Green St. It is also where our Christian Day School started.

Present Building

The building that is the current home of our church and school was dedicated on July 12, 1964. We have the cornerstone from our first church at our entryway as a reminder of where we started. The statue of Jesus in the entryway, and the bell outside of our church are elements that are from the building of our second church.
