About Us:

Saint John's is located in the heart of Schuylkill Haven anchoring one end of the business district at the corner of East Man & Dock Streets. Founded in 1862, the church is affiliated with the local and national bodies of the United Church of Christ, but is a self-governing entity, meaning that the local congregation elects its own governing body, calls its own Pastors, and supports itself financially, following denominational guidelines and doctrines. All churches in the United Church of Christ are in covenant with one another. Because of this structure, each congregation determines the "best fit" of program, ministry, and worship which is why UCC congregations can vary widely in worship style, ethnic makeup and ministries.
