For parishioners, St. John’s remains a sacred space rooted in tradition, prayer, and fellowship. Yet some cannot cross through the doors at all due to the stone steps that pose an insurmountable barrier to those with mobility challenges. Additionally, visitors and congregants must cross a busy road to access a restroom. As the congregation grows and ages, these barriers prevent full participation in worship and community programs.

This project will add a modest, historically sensitive foyer with an ADA-compliant restroom and lift, preserving the building’s character while opening its doors to all.
