Treasure this magnificent architectural masterpiece Johnston City! Having lived in two of the five largest cities in the United States with many architectural wonders, I still personally marvel at this structure each time I am home. It is a true symbol of the wonderful and prosperous place Johnston City was during its early years as well as a symbol of what our hometown could be once again if we utilized that same foresight of our ancestors.

I grew up in JC and went to this church. It was amazing to me as a child.Beautiful stained glass, pipe organ, stairs that seemed to go everywhere! I remember Mrs McCormick as my Sunday school teacher. I was so shy that she would sit me up on the piano bench with her while she played. And her flannel gragh stories were the best. I was baptised there on April 7,1974.

Onebugsyusa, actually the building of this church looks like a masonic lodge.
