St. John Lutheran Church (II) - Jefferson Park (Chicago)

There were several congregations established in the area that used the name of St. John's, and this one became known as St. John's - Mayfair.  It is affiliated with the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod.

The Rev. A. Detzer, Sr., from Des Plaines conducted the first services in this area in 1874, and the congregation was officially organized on 3 October 1875.  As the Volga German immigrants moved into the Jefferson Park and Mayfair neighborhoods beginning in 1888, many became members of St. John's.

In 1903, a group of twenty-six families from St. John's organized the daughter congregation of St. Paul's on Cranfield Ave.
