LOOKING BACK,
MOVING FORWARD
EARLY DAYS
The first Episcopal church services in Harbor Springs were held in 1878 on the second floor of O’Connors Hall, near the intersection of Main & State Streets, under the direction of Rev. Joseph S. Large. Three years later a lot was purchased at Third & Traverse Streets...
FOUNDATIONAL
On July 14th, 1882, the Rt. Rev. George Gillespie, bishop of Western Mighigan, laid the cornerstone for St, John's. The current church building was constructed at a cost of $2,300, and St. John's Episcopal Church was consecrated on July 19, 1883
Under the aegis of the rector Emmanuel Church in nearby Petoskey, St. John's briefly operated year round, from 1901 to 1906. It has remained a summer chapel ever since.
