Welcome to Historic St. John's Church.
We're glad you're here.
Since 1938, St. John's Church Foundation has been charged with the preservation of St. John's Church, now a National Historic Landmark. Our tours, special events, living history reenactments and donations from all over the world support us in this goal.
We believe that St. John's Church in Richmond, Virginia, is one of America's most important historic sites, where George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and other Colonial leaders met and -- swayed by Patrick Henry's Liberty or Death speech -- made a decision that changed the course of American history. Indeed, it was at St. John's that the American Revolution found its voice -- a voice that reverberates to this day.
We believe in these guiding principles:
We are the guardians and stewards of this hallowed and sacred place;
Our history is compelling and relevant. It informs our future;
Our story is powerful, inclusive, educational and important to share;
Our story shows that civil discourse and differing points of view can bring people together and create positive change;
And above all, our history shows with ultimate clarity that, in the course of human events, one voice can change the world.
