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.

COVID-19 has reminded us of a deep spiritual truth in these last many months, it is that we are "One Together." One in mission. One in service. One in prayer. One in praise. One together. Join us in supporting our church.
