“On March 9, 1867, a small group of Baltimoreans of German descent started a German Protestant congregation in what is now Southwest Baltimore; then, the area was a county suburb. The original congregation’s name was Die Deutscher Evangelisch Lutherische St. Johannes Gemeinde. The church building was erected the following year at Lombard and Catherine Streets and the congregation remained there, eventually with a complex of three buildings, until the summer of 1960 when they moved to the present location of St. John’s UCC in Catonsville. The members held worship services in the mansion house until the present colonial church complex was dedicated in 1967—the church’s 100th Anniversary.”
