St. John the Evangelist Church is a Roman Catholic church in Lithium, Missouri.

History

St. John the Evangelist Church in Lithium was initially known as St. Theresa's. The church was established in 1904. A church and rectory were completed in 1906. By 1907, Lithium was serving as mission parish of Claryville, Missouri. In 1938, in deference to a donor who provided most of the money for a new church building, the parish was renamed St. John the Baptist. After the dedication of the new church that same year, a statue of the patron saint was commissioned by Archbishop Glennon. When it arrived it was uncrated and recognized as St. John the Evangelist. The church was closed in 1985.
