Our Mission:
Live God's Love in the World

Our Vision:
A vibrant urban church centered in enthusiastic and inspirational worship, grace-filled service, and rich opportunities for spiritual growth.

Our Core Values:

We do God's work by...
Growing in faith through worship, study, prayer, and fellowship
Risking innovation and spirit-led change
Anchoring ourselves in Christ's steadfast love, hope and joy

On Sunday mornings and evenings, St. John's offers adult Bible studies, small group discussions and other opportunities for Christian education. We focus on nourishing the mind, the body, and the spirit through prayer, contemplation, and engagement with the Bible.

Our recent offerings have included:

The Lutheran Course- a crash course for all Lutherans
The Social Issues Forum- a group dedicated to discussing the questions of our day from a Christian perspective
40 Days of Restoration- a church-wide Lenten Bible study
How to Read the Bible in a Year- a hands-on guide to creating a daily reading habit

We invite you to join us to deepen your understanding of the faith and to share your thoughts and views in civil. constructive and open conversations.
