The St. John's Lutheran Church is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America located in Evansville, Wisconsin. It was originally founded in June 1936 under the name First Lutheran, but took the name St. John's in 1938 after they purchased the old St. John's Episcopal Church, which featured that name over the door.

Architecture

Noted architect John Steinmann designed much of the 1957 church, drawing inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright. [3] It was added to the State Register of Historic Places in 2011 and to the National Register of Historic Places the following year. [4]
