Church Life

Text Box: About Us Saint John's is a vibrant and friendly congregation located in the heart of Schuylkill Haven anchoring one end of the business district at the corner of East Main & Dock Streets. Founded in 1862, our congregation has a long history of community involvement. The church is affiliated with the local and national bodies of the United Church of Christ, but is an entity unto itself. Being self-governing means that the local congregation elects its own governing body, the Consistory, calls its own Pastors, and supports itself financially, following denominational guidelines and doctrine. All churches of the United Church of Christ are in covenant with one another. Because of this structure, each UCC congregation determines the “best fit” of program, ministry, and worship which is why UCC congregations can vary widely in worship style, ethnic makeup, and ministries.
