 A third church building was built in 1858 in the Carpenter Gothic Style to replace Johnson's 1743 building; but the bell and the golden "brass" rooster weather vane that Johnson donated to the second 1743 church were installed in its steeple, and still call people to worship today.Out of this one church, Johnson founded 26 other churches in Connecticut colony himself, and he lived to see 43 total founded in the state, with 17 more founded by his disciples before his death in 1772.Today, there are more than 170 Episcopalian parishes in the state serving a membership of nearly 60,000 people.
