Former St. John’s Church subject of upcoming zoning hearing

KAYLEE LINDENMUTH / SHENANDOAH SENTINEL - The former St. John's Lutheran Church and Rectory are seen on Nov. 4, 2024.

SHENANDOAH – The former St. John’s Lutheran Church could soon find new life.

This Thursday, the Shenandoah Zoning Hearing Board and Shenandoah Planning Commission will hear a request to reopen the church on West Cherry Street.

The historic church closed several years ago and was sold last year and again this summer.

Edward Lebron, of Shenandoah, filed a zoning permit application in September on behalf of the Iglesia Cristiana Tierra Fertil Church to use the church and rectory once again as a church and rectory.

The application is necessary as the property is zoned residential and requires a special exception.

A hearing is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 7 at 4pm at Shenandoah Borough Hall.
