Overview
We, at St. John's Lutheran Church & School, wish to welcome you into this family of God.
It is our sincere prayer that we can be rich blessings to each other and to the community which we serve. Together, we will share in opportunities to grow regularly in God's Word, to share and bear burdens with fellow Christians, to rejoice with hearts full of praise for the bountiful daily blessings from our Almighty God, and to grow in the understanding of how best to use those blessings in ways which please and glorify God.
Our vision is that by the power of the Holy Spirit, everyone touched by St. John's will be Knowing Christ and Making Him Known.
By the power of the Holy Spirit in Word and Sacrament, the members of St. John's will gather regularly at the cross to worship, teach God's word to young and old, faithfully serve God and others, and constantly reach out with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
