St. John's Church (Concord, Pennsylvania)

In 1704, Reverend Henry Nichols was sent by The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts as a missionary to work in all three churches.

[1] Missionaries were sent from Philadelphia to preach to the congregation, however problems arose due to the distance the preachers had to travel and the church began to have ministers from the Swedish Church in Wilmington, Delaware preside over the congregation.

Israel Acrelius, the noted Swedish Lutheran missionary and priest is known to have preached at St. John's Church during his travels in America in 1749.

In 1790, an eastern end of the church was added laid with stone and replaced the original structure that the congregation had worshipped in for almost a century.

[2] In 1884, a chancel window was added as a memorial to Henry Onderdonk, the second Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania.
