St. John's Episcopal Church ('Church of the Presidents')

St. John's Episcopal Church, located on Lafayette Square, is popularly known as the 'Church of the Presidents' because church tradition records that every U.S. president since James Madison has attended services there at least once. The church building dates to 1816 and has served as a frequent site for presidential worship, funerals, and official church-related events. It remains an active Episcopal parish and a noted historic landmark adjacent to the White House.
