The St. John's Lutheran Church congregation in Port Hope was established in 1868.
In 1870, Rev. W. Schwartz, a traveling missionary, took charge of the congregation, and soon, with the arrival of more settlers, the congregation grew.
In 1871, the congregation constructed a frame church on this site.
By 1876, the congregation was large enough to warrant its own pastor.
By 1899, the earlier structure proved inadequate, and the congregation constructed this one.
A wing was added in 1981.
The church still serves the original congregation.
