St. John's has been without a pastor since the end of September 2021.
We are in the process of calling a new pastor to serve His people at St. John's.
In the meantime, we gather at 2:00pm on the first, second and fourth Sunday of each month to celebrate the fullness of the Divine Service with Holy Communion.
We gather at 9:00am on the third and fifth Sunday of each month for a service of the Word, lead by an elder, except when a pastor is available.
We sing biblical hymns and listen to sermons written by faithful pastors.
If you are not a regular member and wish to commune, we ask that you arrive at least 15 minutes early and speak with the pastor before the service.
