Church

Welcome!
St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church is a member of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). We offer what you need the most -- the message of full and free forgiveness through Jesus Christ, the world’s only Savior from sin. That Gospel message is at the center of everything that we do here. St. John’s is a place for worship… a place for fellowship… a place for family… a place to grow spiritually… a place for you!

Our Mission
United by faith in Christ, the men, women and children of St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church gather to worship and serve our Triune God. Strengthened through Word and Sacrament, we respond to Christ’s command (Matthew 28: 19-20) by seeking lost souls for Christ and nurturing believers for lives of Christian service, all to the glory of God.

Thank You For Your Patience  You may have noticed that some of the print on the bulletins and newsletters is not very clear or maybe you noticed the creases in them.  A new folding machine was recently purchased for the office, however, we are still trying to iron out the problems with the quality of the print.  We want to thank you for your patience while we deal with these issues.  We hope to have a resolution very soon!
