A brief history of St. John’s Episcopal Church of Mankato



Mankato was a frontier town in 1856, when the first Episcopal service was celebrated in a small log building on North Broad Street. In 1860, Henry Benjamin Whipple, Bishop of the Diocese of Minnesota, held a worship service at Mankato’s mission. In 1866, St. John’s parish was organized. A church was built the next year on the corner of Warren and Broad Streets. A bell tower and parish hall were added later. That church building was demolished in 1966. Our current church, built on that same site, was dedicated on October 15, 1967. During the past 155 years, there have been 27 rectors.
