Welcome to St. John's UMC

What is church? A place to go? A time on Sunday morning? We aim to be a community of people who share God’s love with one another and with the world. We believe God’s grace is available to all people. That’s why our communion table is open to all.

The present sanctuary was completed in 1912, however our history goes back to 1869, when worship was conducted in a two-story wood frame structure. In the early years of Lutherville, people of all denominations worshipped together in a small frame building at the heart of the Village (where St. Paul’s Lutheran Church now stands). They called their church the United Christian Association. As it grew, the Association decided to hold separate Methodist and Lutheran services on alternating Sundays with each group’s minister officiating. This arrangement soon proved to be unsatisfactory and so in January 1869, Lutherville’s Methodists resolved “…that by God’s help we proceed to erect a church and organize a Methodist Society.” Today we warmly welcome and invite neighbors and visitors to enjoy our historic church and weekly Worship Service.
