St. John Missionary Baptist Church

Throughout history St. John Baptist Church along with a dedicated band of members, has faithfully carried out the GREAT COMMISSION, called sinners to repentance, baptized believers, visited the sick, helped the needy, ordained Deacons, appointed Mothers, and licensed ministers to pastor.

St. John has been the Church home for many families for several generations. Several churches came out of St. John over the years to ensure that God’s Word will continue to spread throughout Alton and the worlds. Pastor Emeritus Wright often said, ''Once a member of St. John, always a member!''
