Our History

Nestled in the heart of Woodsboro, Maryland, St. John’s United Church of Christ has been a beacon of faith and community since 1822. With its cornerstone laid in 1802, our church stands as a living testimony to God’s enduring presence and the generations who have worshiped here.

Today, we continue that legacy.

Church History

Our Mission

To cultivate a community where Christian friendship can flourish, to provide a welcoming place for individuals and families to grow and worship together, and to expand God’s kingdom by sharing our gifts and testimonies.

The United Church of Christ philosophy is:

“Jesus didn’t reject people. Neither do we.”

No matter who you are, or where you are on life’s journey, you’re welcome here.
