Our History
Over 150 Years and Counting
The first Lutheran church in New Freedom was started in about 1869 as a union church, sharing a building with a Reformed congregation.
A parsonage was built in New Freedom, and a telephone was installed.
On October 18, 2019, St. John celebrated its 150th anniversary.
