Now, its Pastor Mark Erson of St John’s Lutheran Church at 81 Christopher Street invites you to step through the virtual doors to this soon-to-be 200-year-old sanctuary as he shares with you the history of its structure, its theological evolution and its relationship with the West Village social conscience and vast artistic community. Step through the virtual doors to the sanctuary and celebrate one of the oldest, if not the oldest, continuous houses of worship in the West Village. Discover the amazing stories and history behind St. John‘s gorgeous stained glass windows.
