Because the town's population was mainly of Scottish descent, Episcopalians typically worshiped together with the Presbyterians.

The foundations of the original church building were laid in 1817 by the local chapter of the Masonic Order.

The main church, which has a seating capacity of over 400 people, features stained glass windows from Munich, Germany depicting Biblical scenes.

In 1990, St. John's purchased the Kyle House, a 139-year-old home adjacent to the church which is often used for receptions, classes, and meetings.

In 2002, the parish dedicated a building project which connected the original church structure to the Kyle House.
