St. John United Church of Christ

About this church

St. John United Church of Christ is a Mascoutah congregation whose history begins with German Evangelical Protestants organizing in 1843. Its heritage joins Lutheran and Reformed influences within the United Church of Christ, while present ministry emphasizes Christ’s death and resurrection, welcome without exception, spirited worship, friendship, learning, music, and practical service. Choirs, handbells, band, youth programs, mission partnerships, and local benevolence continue a long record of community involvement.

Sunday worship begins at 9:00 a.m., with Holy Communion on the first Sunday of each month and refreshments afterward. Children’s Sunday School runs from approximately 9:15 to 10:00 during worship. Paid nursery staff care for children through kindergarten, while children may also remain in the sanctuary. The youth choir rehearses Sunday at 8:45, and the children’s chime choir at 10:00; adult Chancel Choir rehearses Wednesday from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. During the school year, grades six through eight meet Wednesday at 6:00, while senior high meets twice monthly on dates announced in the newsletter. Weekly worship videos are posted online. Because several youth and music groups follow school-year or performance calendars, households should verify the current rehearsal or meeting before attending outside Sunday worship.
