Welcome and thank you for visiting St. John's Lutheran Church.

St. John's Lutheran Church is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). As such we believe in the Triune God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, and the Gospel as the power of God for salvation for all that believe. We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the written Word of God, inspired by God's Spirit speaking through their authors, recording and announcing God's revelation centering in Jesus Christ. We believe the Church to be a people created by God in Christ and sustained by the Holy Spirit, called and sent to communicate God's creative, redeeming and sanctifying activity in the world.

Membership

Being a member of St. John's involves making a commitment to be involved in the life and programs, and financial support of the congregation. Three to four "Newcomer's Open House" opportunities are held each year, usually beginning with a date in September. New members are then welcomed into the congregation on the following Sunday. These sessions are held at the church, and childcare is provided. Dates and times for our "Newcomer's Open House" events, and the Sundays when new members join are published in the congregation's monthly newsletter, The Messenger. Non-members, however, may participate in all worship services and programs of the congregation except for voting on congregational business and holding office.
St. John's welcomes non-member families who are seeking baptism, or wish to enroll children in Sunday School or Confirmation. The church is not available for weddings for non-members. Funerals for non-members may be held in the church building in consultation with the Pastor.
