Welcome to St. John’s!

As a congregation celebrating God’s call since 1901 to share God’s love in Jesus, St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church welcomes visitors and members alike. Our Mission Statement (What we hope for people who come here) is simple:

Encountering,

Connecting,

Responding

to Jesus Christ

 

St. John’s Lutheran is a church that shares a living, daring confidence in God’s grace.  Liberated by our faith, we embrace you as a whole person–questions, complexities and all.  Join us as we do God’s work in Christ’s name for the life of the world.

Why come?
People come to church for different reasons, but our desire is to encourage all who come to seek God and a deeper, more purposeful relationship with Him.

No one is perfect and no matter who you are, no matter where you are in your feelings or knowledge about God, we want you to know that you are welcome here. We invite you simply to come, just as you are.
