The congregation, active in the city for 167 years, will demolish its building at 322 E. Washington Ave. in a move to expand its ministry through a $46.5 million, 10-story redevelopment with a new sanctuary, community spaces and offices on the first floor topped by 130 mostly low-cost apartments above and structured parking below. 

The church will hold its final public service on Reformation Sunday, Oct. 29, as a way of paying homage to St. John’s heritage of acceptance and passion for doing ministry with the homeless, marginally housed, those with mental illness, and people currently or formerly incarcerated.
