St John's Methodist Episcopal Church (South) was a Methodist church founded in Southside in November 1884. The congregation had 18 charter members, but grew to more than 500 within two years. The first church building was completed in 1885 on the northwest corner of 17th Street and Avenue E. By 1918 it had moved to the northwest corner of 20th Street and 8th Avenue South, and remained there until at least 1941.
