St. Johns Church, Ravenhead
The church opened in 1869 and has served the community of Ravenhead in a variety of ways ever since. A Memorial Hall was later added to the church in the 1920's and further development work saw the building of the St. Johns Community Centre, which opened in 2004.

Emmanuel, Thatto Heath
Known historically as 'The Campbell Rooms', the building was donated to St. Johns to aid our ministry to the children and youth of the area. The present building on Elephant Lane, completed in 1965 and then known as 'St. Johns Mission', is the latest to be built on the site.
Today, both churches serve a vital role in our vision to promote the Christian faith to our parish and beyond, while meeting the broader social, economic and personal needs of our community.
