St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church is a historic church in Stovertown, Ohio.
It was built in 1878 and added to the National Register in 1980.
From the congregation's web page: Traveling pastor William Foster held the first services in the area in the year 1812. The services were held in huts and dwellings. In 1819 a church was built on the farm of John George Swingle. This church was used until 1831, when a new church was built a half mile south of Stovertown at the current location. In 1851 a plain frame church was built at the cost of $1,000. Finally in 1878 the current church was built and is still in use today.[2]
