News

St. John's Episcopal Church was the first religious institution to be established in Cold Spring Harbor. The first Episcopalian services were held in the little 18th century school house just above the site of the present church. The very first Vestry minutes, written in fine script on September 4, 1831, lists the founders who pledged $2,000 to build a new church.

We are GROWING! The mission and ministry of St. John’s is getting stronger and reaching far and wide. With the addition of Mary Beth, our new Curate, our Sunday school, youth programs, pastoral care and outreach activities will continue to flourish.
