Welcome to St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, located in the Town of Evans NY, one mile outside of the Village of Angola and some 25 miles south of the City of Buffalo on the Lake Erie shore.Our church was founded on October 19, 1940 when the Lutherans of this area gathered for their first formal worship as a Lutheran Church. Our only remaining founding member is Lee Wells, mother of Karyn Carriero. Lee resides at the Lakeshore Residential Care Center in Irving, NY.
