What to Expect
Considering joining us? Here are some things you might expect to find at St. John's Lutheran Church.
We gather for weekly worship
to give our thanks and praise to God. We are a Word and Sacrament church, so our worship services feature relevant Biblical preaching (Word) and the gracious gift of Holy Communion (Sacrament). At St. John's Lutheran Church, Holy Communion is open to all baptized Christians, including children who have received their First Communion. Small children are invited to come forward to receive a blessing.
We are committed to prayer
We would love to pray for you and your needs.
Come as you are
At St. John's you will find ladies wearing dresses or slacks and men wearing open collar shirts. You will also find people wearing shorts or jeans and t-shirts. Don't fret about your clothes, just come! We are a friendly congregation,​ so people are going to say, "Hello!". We will not ask you to stand and introduce yourself to folks that you don't know.
We are generous
People at St. John's are generous in their giving to God and to those in need. Every Sunday we receive an offering as a way of saying "thank you" to God and to support the mission of our church.
Faith and Fellowship
At St. John's Lutheran Church, we are committed to keeping the faith and fostering fellowship within our congregation. ​​We provide opportunities for spiritual growth and a sense of community. As the people of God, we strive to fulfill our divine mission: "Saved by the grace of God to witness and to serve others," while growing into our God given vision: "To become a church of fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ who are dedicated to spiritual growth for the sake of the world."
