The history of Saint Johns.

When playing bingo at Saint Johns, you are also relishing in the building's history, learning and embracing their culture and way of life. Saint John's Episcopal Church welcomes you to their vibrant and growing parish, located in the heart of Northern New Jersey. Community seems to be a huge part of what it means to be a parishioner at St. John’s. St. John’s has been present in Boonton for over 161 years, constantly striving for JOY towards the community. St. John’s is most likely a continuation of the pre-revolutionary St. Bartholomew’s Anglican Church, which was located in the original village of Boonetown. St. Bartholomew’s was torn down in 1816, which allowed way for St Johns to be formed only 40 years on! They are an inclusive worship community that strives to live out their baptismal covenant to what they say, "seek and serve Christ in all persons" and to "strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being."
