Construction of St. John's Anglican Church, in the Community of Moschelle began in 1884 and was ready for services in 1886. The St. John's Anglican Church building is a wonderful example of the Gothic Revival Architectural Style constructed of locally made brick. Hallmark of this style is balance and symmetry. This is found in the use of the traditional rectangular building form with a gable end roof and symmetrical door and window placement. It it, however, the architectural details of the front rosette window, the detailed brick work of the window surrounds, the decorative tracery side windows, wide frieze boards and ornate stained glass window in the narthex that add to the beauty of the little brick church. The later bell tower addition with its shiplap siding, flared hip roof and cruciform is an excellent example of sympathetic construction that integrates new with old. 
 

A columbarium is a facility for the perpetual care of cremated remains.  It may vary in size or location, but always consists of a series of niches for the use of families when the internment of cremated remains is appropriate.  St. John’s Church, Moschelle, was set apart and adapted for this purpose on March 11, 2007 by the former congregation of St. John’s Church, the Parish of Annapolis, and the then Diocesan Bishop  - the Rt. Rev. Fred Hiltz. The Parish still holds an annual service in the Columbarium on September 14th, Holy Cross Day.
