Inside St John's Church in Greenwich Village

When St. John’s Lutheran Church was built in 1821, the West Village was considered the northern frontier of New York City. 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. Learn how St. John‘s evolved into an immigrant church in a rapidly changing 19th and early 20th century West Village and Greenwich Village. Witness St. John‘s transformation of its sacred space from Puritan Presbyterian to Lip Synching for the Lord. And see how this historic church is engaging the creative spirit of the West Village.
