St. John Baptist Church was founded in the city of Gary in 1918. From that time until this, it has remained a pillar in our community. Through Godly leadership and influence, St. John has continued to serve the people of God both inside and outside of the church. Over the years, St. John has not only endeavored to seek the lost and encourage the saved, it has also played a role in fighting for equal employment opportunities as well as fair housing within our community. Even today, our passion is to serve God by serving His people – between Sundays. We are a church that endeavors to have our footprint in the street as well as the sanctuary!
