The Red Brick Church was used by the congregation of St. John's Blymire's for over 125 years. It stands in te community of Dallastown and was built in 1855 with the cornerstone laid on May 28, of that year.

In 1888, thirty-three years after the Red Brick Church was begun, extensive repairs were made to the building. Brick work was done, the spire was placed on the Church, as well as a stone doorsill. This was probably when the entry was constructed. It was at this time that the Church probably looked much as it does today.

St John's Blymire's makes available the Red Brick Chapel for marriage services as a religious institution and as a member of the Dallastown community. While it's general conviction is that the service of mariage should be celebrated in the context of the local congregation and under the guidance of a pastor know to the participants, St. John's Blymire's recognizes that exceptional circumstances do not always allow for this.

This church still believes that services conducted in the Red Brick Chapel should follow several procedures that represent time-honored practice and which should have great potential for the benefit to the participants. These involve consultaion with the cleergy of one's own tradition and opportunity for serious reflection of the nature and meaning of marriage. Clergy is available through St. John's Blymire's UCC if needed. 

The Red Brick Chapel can be used for Weddings, Funerals, a Lecture Hall, Youth Fellowship activites and a meeting place for local groups such as 4-H or Scouts.
