In the month of May 1848, two missionaries of the Evangelical Association, the Revs. W. L. Reber and John Koehl, visited the village of Shamokin and preached to a small group of people in the Central School House on Sunbury Street. They continued to preach in the town at intervals until the following February and then at the instance of Rev. W. L. Reber; Rev. John Koehl conducted the first protracted meeting. There were about ten conversions, from which Rev. John Koehl organized the first class.

At the Annual Conference which followed, Shamokin was attached to the Mahantango Circuit; and thereafter, for the next twenty years, the congregation was served regularly by ministers attached to the circuit. Worship was conducted at the School House at the beginning and in later years in the basements of the United Brethren and Reformed Churches. St. John’s Church, known as the ‘Old White Church’ was erected in 1869. It was located on the north side of Sunbury Street at Eighth and was the first church structure of the denomination in Shamokin.

In 1868, Trevorton, Seven Points. Irish Valley and Shamokin were detached from Mahantango Circuit and formed into a separate charge called the Trevorton Mission. Rev. S. S. Chubb came to the charge in 1869 and served until 1871. Rev. Robert Mott followed him in 1871 and in the same year Shamokin was detached from the Trevorton Mission and made a mission by itself.

In 1872, at the conference in Pine Grove, it was constituted a self supporting station. During the latter part of the Rev. Motts's term in 1872, smallpox closed the church for nine weeks. During his term a new communion set was purchased and names of the donors recorded. In speaking of the new church, Rev. Mott reported a debt on the property of $ 2,000 with enough subscribed to pay all of it. During his first year the collections and the donation of a note of $ 1,000 by Bro. D. Rohn, reduced the debt to
$ 600.

In 1872 to 1873 the society was incorporated in the courts and 'after a hard struggle' a deed was secured for the church lot from William Cameron of Lewisburg. Some mention of the size of the plot is now made. Rev. R. Mott had 130 on probation and at the conference of 1873, 200 full members and 43 probationers were reported. From 1873 - 1875 Rev. B. J. Smoyer reported 260 members; also that the Sunday School was improved and that they bought an organ.

The pastorate of Rev. W. A. Leopold from 1875 – 1878 seems to have been outstanding. He is described as the first ‘great Sunday School man’ and first mention is made of the Sunday School prospering. At the conclusion of his term, thirty years after the beginning of the work, in describing the church as the ‘largest Protestant congregation in town’, he added, “Surely the Lord has done great things for us, whereof we are glad.”

In 1875 the Sunday School Superintendents were George W. Metz and D. C. Smink; later, also John Mosser. The School increased and the Pastor and officials said 'Come up higher', as the lecture room was too small. They moved upstairs with 'some opposition'.

In 1876 the Superintendants were W. A. Leopold and William H. Zaring. The Harrisburg District Sunday School Convention was held in the church that year, which gave the work a missionary impetus.

In 1876 three mission Sunday Schools were organized by the Pastor, as follows:
Burnside - 75 scholars. Thomas R. Entrekin, Superintendent.
Big Mountain - 52 scholars. Geo. Bedea and Isaac B. Bickel, Superintendents.
Springfield - 68 scholars. Nathaniel Barr, Superintendent (later Tobias Koppenhaver, Superintendent).

The home school was listed as German - Adult, Infant and Intermediate - total scholars 538. Total scholars in all schools numbered 733. Springfield at this time was 'in the woods', as well as Big Mountain and Burnside. Work in the three mission schools lapsed and was later given up.

In 1875 German was still largely the language used, but by late 1880’s and early 1890’s a German choir sang at the morning service and an English choir in the evening. George O. Schoop was the organist, followed by Fred English and then Charles R. Zaring. Gradually, however, English superseded German, not without a struggle. In the early part of the century German was preached one Sunday morning a month. English speaking members either stayed home or went to another church that morning.

In 1875, at the Herdon Camp meeting, Shamokin had 25 tents overlooking the 'noble Susquehanna'. The church received a great impetus from this 'feast of the tabernacles', and in the Fall and Winter of 1875 - 1876 a great revival broke out. 173 souls were saved and 146 added to the church. The church, being too small, was enlarged to accommodate 300 more people. It was completed during the Winter and Spring of 1875 - 1876. Panic then hit the country and subscriptions were 'hard to get'. The Pastor carried the subscription book and asked all to help, but 'the pocket books were closed, although we prospered spiritually'.

Camp meeting was held at Hunter’s Station in 1876 and was again credited with giving the work in Shamokin great spiritual impetus. The following Fall and Winter there were 185 conversions in the church and in the School Houses at Burnside and Big Mountain. Baptisms in 1876 numbered 123, marriages 22, and funerals 60.

The year 1877 witnessed the first entertaining of an Annual Conference, from February 26 to March 4, Bishops R. Yeakel and Thomas Bowman presided, with 150 ministers in attendance. The Conference gave 'great prestige' to the church.

Hard times continued in 1877 -1878. Sixty six members were lost by moving away. The Pastor was ill for six months from 'over work the previous year'. There were 77 conversions in February 1878 and three or four hundred dollars were paid on the church inspite of hard times. J. C. Bliem was the Pastor for one year, 1878 - 1879. He reported a large congregation. Nine weeks meetings were held, with 36 conversions.

Rev. J. C. Bliem was followed by Rev. W. A. Shoemaker, 1879 - 1882. In 1879 there were 375 members and the debt was $ 1,300, ($300 more than the charter allowed). However, the debt was reduced and the bills paid.

In Rev. Shoemaker's second year, 1880 the membership dropped to 235. The German question again appears with a separate German Sunday School being organized. This indicates that the English school was superseding the German, slowly but surely. The two schools at Burnside and Springfield were discontinued, as they had no one in either place to hold them as Evangelical Sunday Schools. The debt was reduced to $ 700; new carpet was placed in the church and a new stove purchased for the wing. Revival results were poor and the conditions generally bad. All members of the Big Mountain class, except Bro. Koppenhaver, moved to town and the Sunday School was abandoned. The German school died for 'lack of interest'.

The Pastorate of D. Z. Kemble from 1882 -1885 saw improvements in the church property. The basement of the church and the wing were used for Sunday School purposes and the outside was repainted; and a parsonage lot was bought.

In 1882, electric lights were installed in the church and St. John's was the first Protestant Church in the world to be electrically lit. This was shortly after the invention of electricity by Thomas A. Edison.

Two organs were bought, other repairs made and all paid for in cash. In addition the debt was reduced to $ 650. 115 new members were received, with a net gain of 61. Rev. D. Z. Kemble made 2,865 visits presumably in his three years as the Pastor.

Rev. A. A. DeLong served from 1885 - 1888. He reported his salary 'paid in full'. The debt reduced and 120 conversions were reported. In 1886 the church was again remodeled.

The pastor from 1888 - 1891 was Rev. H. D. Shultz. There were 303 members and the work was slowed down by a five months mine strike. The Pastor proposed to build the first parsonage and was told to go ahead, provided the indebtedness did not exceed $ 800. $ 2,000 was raised in cash in advance and the debt on dedication Sunday was $ 700. The Pastor and his family moved into the parsonage on November 1, 1888. This shows fast work, since the Pastor had come on the field on the first of the previous March. A good revival began at New Year and 135 new members joined the church the first year of his Pastorate. The net gain for the year was 115. One thing is worthy of note in comparison with present day conditions; the many years in which the old church had more than 100 conversions. A.Y.P.M.S. was organized, also a Sister's Aid Society (the beginning of the Ladies 'Aid'). The church was improved externally and internally prior to the Annual Conference of 1890.

The average attendance of the Sunday School for the last three months of the Conference year 1889 - 1890 was 349, the 'largest at any time in the history of the school'. The only debt on the church at the close of the Rev. Shultz was $ 250 and the final total cost of the parsonage was $ 3,000. He received 216 members in to the church in three years, had 90 weddings, 107 funerals, baptized 212 infants and 12 adults, made 3000 pastoral calls and the membership at the end of his term was 395. January 1, 1891 the services changed to all English, except the first and third Sunday mornings of the month.

Due to controversies and misunderstandings within the denomination a division occured in 1891 which greatly affected St. John's. A few years afterward a large majority of the congregation moved and erected another church in town. Those who remained with St. John's struggled on for several years with Rev. J. k. Fehr serving as the Pastor in 1891 - 1892, along with Seven Points and Treverton with Rev. J. W. Roth as the Pastor in 1893.

In 1894 Rev. J. W. Boyer was appointed as Pastor, serving in addition to Shamokin, Trevorton, Seven Points and Herndon. He reported that in October of that year there were only 35 members in St. John's. Starting on Monday night, December 9, 1894 revival services were held for eleven weeks. Rev. William F. Klein, who was serving at the East Reading charge, was the evangelist to assist the pastor. On the first night only 13 persons were present. Then street meetings were held before the regular services in the church. This attracted many people, so that by the end of the first week over 100 were present in the services and some were converted. During that revival, 150 professed conversion and nearly 100 united with the church.

In 1895 Rev. A. L. Messinger was appointed Pastor. He served for two years. The work progressed nicely, so that at the end of his second year the Pastor records 'the one fact was strongly fixed in my mind; that Shamokin presents a filed for mission work for our church that not many towns can boast of, and if our people are faithful to God, there is a great future for our work here'.

In 1897 - 1898 Rev. J. P. Freed served as the pastor. He was followed by the Rev. A. W. Buck in 1899, who remained as Pastor for four years. He reported that while the Conference Journal reported 143 members, only 88 could be found. But the work gradually increased, many improvements were made to the property and souls were saved. During the winter of 1901 - 1901 a scarlet fever epidemic raged in Shamokin, taking from six to twelve children daily in death and keeping physicians, undertakers and ministers very busy.

In 1902 - 1903 Rev. H. W. Gross served as Pastor. He was followed by Rev. A. S. Kresge, who served from 1903 - 1905.

Rev. J. H. Willaur served as Pastor from 1905 - 1909. He was the last Pastor serving his complete pastorate at 'the White Church' on Sunbury Street.

Rev. B. C. Krupp served as Pastor from 1909 - 1912. Although the membership was small, most of them were faithful in the services and the support of the church financially. These faithful members and friends had a vision that by relocating their church to the western part of Shamokin, which at the time was being rapidly developed, there would be a greater field for the promotion of God's work. A committee was appointed to make a survey of the possibilities of locating in a section most suitable to serve the community. There being no church west of Second Street, in what is known as 'the Edgewood District', the committee decided to purchase four lots in August 1910, at the corner of Arch Street and Eagle Avenue, suitable for a church and parsonage, from the Shamokin Lumber & Mfg. Co. at a cost of $ 3,100. Almost immediately plans were laid and work on the new church was begun. A loyal membership and a community friendly to the building program willingly gave of their time, labor and financial assistance, in order that this house of worship might be brought to completion as soon as possible with the least encumbrance. Before long the vision of these faithful pioneers was realized.

The corner stone was laid the same year and the new building was rushed to completion. In the same year the 'Old White Church' was sold to F. P. Llewwllyn for $ 7,500 and the following year the parsonage was sold for $ 4,750. These amounts were then applied to the church debt. On the day of dedication, Sunday, February 12, 1911, Bishop Thomas Bowman preached the morning and evening sermons. Rev. W. A. Leopold preached in the afternoon. The dedicatory service was held in the evening, when the trustees presented the church building to the Bishop for the dedication. Services were held every evening during the following week. Rev. B. C. Krupp was the Pastor of the new church. Members still livign who transferred when the church located at Edgewood are Jere Bohner, Susie Bohner (widow of Ed Bohner), Earl Fredrick, Sarah Shively, Edward Reitz, Mrs. Edward Reitz, Mrs. Leah Long and Isaac Fry.

Rev. W. C. Beck served as Pastor from 1912 - 1917. For several years the work progress slowly, until by 1917 there was grave danger that that church would not survive. The Bishop and the Presiding Elders were greatly concerned and after giving themselves to much prayer, appointed Rev. C. S. Bergstresser to St. John's Church. He served as Pastor from 1917 -1922. The Women's Missionary Society was organized in 1918 and the Ladies Circle in 1919. Among signs that we saw the Lord was leading in the work of the building up the church, was in the crowds that came, especially on Sunday evenings. The first six Sunday evenings there were some at the altar each evening.

From the very beginning Rev. C. S. Bergstresser gave himself wholeheartedly to the task of ministering faithfully to the needs of the congregation and friends of the community. In fact the very first Vacation Bible School in the area was started at St. John’s EUB Church in the 1920’s by Rev. Calvin Bergstresser. By careful supervision and many personal sacrifices and hardships he soon endeared himself to these people, until gradually new life and new leadership came into the church, so that during the five years of his pastorate the membership and attendance increased to the place where the need of an enlarged building was not too far in the future.

It was during his pastorate that the church building at Ringtown was dismantled and transferred to Shamokin and used in the construction of the present parsonage. The cost of material and construction was approximately $ 5,500. Due to the increased attendance the church annex was built some three years later and in 1919 the parsonage was also built.

The tenth anniversary of the church was celebrated in October 1920. The seventy fifth anniversary of the founding of the work was also celebrated.

Rev. W. A. C. Eby served as the Pastor for one year, from 1922 -1923. During his pastorate the Ladies' Aid Society was very active; they did more quilting and turned out more work than during the previous year.

In 1923 Rev. W. J. Edelman was appointed and served for one year, 1923 - 1924. At a congregational meeting may 2, 1923, action was taken and a committee of seven appointed to take preliminary steps to enlarge the church building. Another congregational meeting was called for May 23, and after hearing the report of the committee, definite action was taken. Irwin M. Kehler, Harry L. Weigel, Rev. W. J. Edelman and C. H. Love were elected as a building committe and ordered to proceed with the architectural plans drawn and submitted by Mr. Weigel. Financial aid was received from the Church Extension Society, work on the construction was begun and was completed under the supervision of Mr. Weigel, who gave all of his most valuable time, as well as the drawing of the plans, without accepting any remuneration. The other members of the committee, as well as members and friends. aided very materially in the reconstruction program, both through free labor and finances. It entailed a cost of about $ 35,000, which was done entirely on a venture of faith, as there was no building fund at the time the construction was begun. At the next meeting of the Sunday School board it was decided to create a fund for building purposes; the offering to be divided every Sunday with the exception of the third and fourth Sundays; the third Sunday the entire offering to go to the building fund and the fourth Sunday to the general fund. In addition to the building program, A Moller pipe organ was installed. it was dedicated on October 5, 1924. The cost of the organ was $ 3,500. On the day of dedication $ 750 was donated towards the cost of the organ.

Rev. J. M. Miller was Pastor of the church from 1924 - 1925. During his pastorate the Sunday School room was dedicated with Bishop S. C. Breyfogel being the speaker for the occasion.

During the years from 1925 - 1928 Rev. H. E. Harner served as the Pastor. A young People's Missionary Circle as well as a Young People's Prayer Meeting was organized during his pastorate.

In 1928 - 1935 Rev. E. M. Slichter served as the Pastor. At the Annual Conference in 1929 the mission was turned into a station. During this pastorate the balcony was enclosed and seats installed; the indebtedness was reduced to $ 5,000; and many improvements were made to the interior as well as the exterior of both the church and the parsonage. $ 15,000 was raised for all purposes.

Rev. H. W. Butt was Pastor from 1935 - 1940. The debt on the church was cleared and on May 16, 1937 the mortgage was burned. Since our membership and friends contributed so generously to the building fund for the liquidation of the church debt, the trustees decided and wisely so, to continue the fund for any future building program. Due to the growth of the Sunday School, a building committee composed of J. B. Keiser, chairman; Howard T. Williams, secretary; H. L. Weigel, Mrs. Eva Kehler, Rev. H. W. Butt, Isaac Zartman, Richard Shandry and Samuel P. Kehler again made plans for a large room in the basement, now the Beginners room. Work began on the excavating in May 1938 and the building started June 6, 1938. It was completed in September and dedicated Sunday afternoon, December 18, 1938. Dr. E. E. Stauffer was the guest speaker. The total cost of construction was $ 4,671.78, with the estimated free labor donated in excavating, hauling, etc. bringing the cost of construction to approximately $ 6,000.

On Easter of 1936 an orchestra was organized and through the twelve years prior to 1936, different members have used their talents by the use of their instruments.

During this pastorate an amplifying system was installed in the church and the ninetieth anniversary of the beginning of the work of the Evangelical Church in Shamokin was observed.

During the years of 1940 - 1947 Rev. L. C. Updegrove was the Pastor. During this time the Lord wonderfully blessed his work at St. John's. Many fruitful revivals were experienced with hundreds saved and at every communion Sunday during this period members were received into church fellowship. As a result of these revivals the Shamokin Christian Youth Fellowship (known as Shamokin Youth for Christ) was born. C. Lamar Derk was recommended by our congregation for the ministry in our Eastern Pennsylvania Conference. Others answering the call were Jack Morlock, Elwood Heiser, Herbert Anderson and William Moyer. Necessary improvements were made to the interior and exterior of the church and the third floor of the parsonage was renovated as a Pastor's study. Several thousand dollars were expended for those improvements. Additional seating was purchased for the Sunday School and a new amplifying system was installed.

A junior choir was organized under the leadership of Mrs. Lester Fuller.

More than 200 were on the roll of honor, serving our country during World War II; six of whom lost their lives during the conflict. They were Claude Hoffman, Roy Dideum, Delmar Baily, Eugene Kaseman, Robert Emerick and Donald Kerstetter.

The room formerly used by the Ladies Aid was painted and dedicated and has since been used as a nursery.

St. John's congregation had the privilege and distinction of being host to another Annual Conference sessions held in 1944. The week day business sessions were held in the First United Brethren Church, Ninth and Sunbury Streets, where Rev. Oliver Mease was the Pastor. Noon and evening meals were served by the ladies' organizations of that church for the ministers and delegates to the conference.

In May 1947, Rev. F. H. Fletcher became the Pastor of St. John's. During the first year of his pastorate the work was marked with progress. The interior of the parsonage was repapered and repainted throughout; new venetian blinds were purchased for the windows of the first floor and new shades for the second floor. These improvements were sponsored largely by the Ladies' Circle and different classes of the Sunday School. During the year Rev. Fred Derk, a member of the congregation was elected as Sunday School and parish worker.

In April 1948, a contract was let for the installation of new lighting fixtures in the church sanctuary and for the side walls of the Sunday School auditorium at a cost of $ 2,205.

On February 4, 1948, the congregation unanimously voted to change the charter of St. John’s Church to bring it up to date in name and rulings as found in the Discipline of the Evangelical United Brethren.

Rev. F. H. Fletcher was the longest serving Pastor at St. John's for 14 years and continued his pastoral ministry until 1961 when Rev. Fred Strudwick was appointed as the Pastor. During Rev. Strudwick's tenure, the Parish Hall was built in 1963 - 1964 across the street on 1201 West Arch Street.

Rev. Fred Strudwick served for five years till 1966 when Rev. Albert Stinner was appointed as the Pastor. Rev. Stinner served for just a year before he passed away due to a prolonged illness. Rev. Lloyd Helt followed Rev. Stinner but unfortunately after just nine months, he succumbed to cancer.

On April 23, 1968, the Evangelical United Brethren Church merged with the United Methodist Church and thus St. John's Evangelical United Brethren Church became the St. John's United Methodist Church. Although our membership decreased during the merger, those who stayed the course continued to give St. John’s United Methodist Church its evangelical flavor.

Rev. C. N. Kindt thereafter served from 1969 - 1975 followed by Rev. Paul Butterfield from 1975 -1978, Rev. Robert Campwell from 1978 -1979 and Rev. Morton W. Caffey from 1979 - 1986.

Rev. John Hathaway who was a former U.S. Navy Chaplain served from 1986 - 1981 followed by Rev. Donald Watson, who was an evangelist before God called him to pastoral ministry and he served from 1991 - 1999. Rev. Donald Watson was the second longest serving Pastor at St. John's UMC and served for 8 years.

Rev. Richard Wilcock served from 1999 - 2006. He also served on the District Committee on Ministry as well as the Board of Ordained Ministry in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference.

In July 2006, Rev. Navin Satyavrata was appointed as the Pastor of St. John's and continues to serve at the present. Rev. Navin Satyavrata came from Bombay, India in 2004 when God brought him to serve in the United States. On his own initiative, he introduced a lot of cost cutting measures and with his finance background, St. John's was able to see a surplus in 2006 for the first time in many years. He also introduced a time for fasting and prayer once a month as well as administration of Holy Communion once every month. Rev. Navin Satyavrata is also involved in different kinds of community work and serves as the Treasurer of the Shamokin Area Ministerium as well as the Vice President and Treasurer of Vision for Growth. He also serves on the Systems of Care and the Gang Awareness Task Force, both in the Northumberland County. He takes services at the High Rises and Bible studies at the Coal Township prison.

The Lord has blessed and used this congregation for the last 160 years. In reviewing the history, some words and statements stand out, namely, revival, conversion, witnessing and Sunday School. St. John’s UMC has a great heritage of winning people to Jesus Christ. Seventy pastors have served till date at St. John’s since 1848.

While God was evident in the past, He is still present with us now and will be in the coming years. While continuing the traditional ministries of the past, St. John’s UMC has been led by the Lord to additional forms of ministry, namely, a children’s church during the worship hour on Sunday mornings, youth fellowship on Sunday evenings that is open to all in the community, Disciple classes on Monday evenings, Bible studies on Wednesday evenings and fasting and prayer once a month. We also have the Vacation Bible School for a week during summer which is also open to all in the community. We are also involved with a co-operative ministry of the twelve United Methodist churches in the Shamokin Area.

We are also involved with the other United Methodist churches as well as the Shamokin Area Ministerium, Visions for Growth, Pregnancy Care Center, Manna for Many and the Shepherd's Table in the Shamokin – Coal Township areas.

St. John’s UMC’s membership has ranged from 16 souls to over 1000 souls over the years; whatever the worship attendance, we have always tried our best to be the shining light to the people of the Shamokin – Coal Township areas. The St. John's family has a very rich history and the keynote characteristic is her friendliness. In fact St. John’s UMC has always been known as the “friendly church” since her inception. Her privilege to 'go ye into all the world and preach the gospel' reflects this commission in its 160 years under the leadership of around seventy pastors.

Over the years St. John’s UMC has had the honor of encouraging many young men and women to accept God’s call to ministry and service. Most recently we have had four young men heed the call to serve churches as local pastors. Through the leadership of many gifted pastors and church members, St. John’s has continuously supported both local and foreign missions with our gifts, our prayers and our personnel.

Having had both large and small congregational experiences, we know without a doubt that God uses both to accomplish His purposes. As we continue to seek God’s will, St. John’s UMC will continue to love God, preach and teach His Holy Word, serve others and make disciples of Jesus Christ until He comes in His glory.
