Who we are
St. John's is a congregation of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), first
founded in 1855. St. John's is the red brick building with a bell
tower, located on the east side of the street at 129 N. Watertown
Street.
Our church, however, is much more than that
quaint red brick building with the beautiful steeple out front.
We are a growing body of wonderful people that come together to make
Johnson Creek and our community a better place.
While
we recognize that the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America officially began operation
as a church body on January 1, 1988, through the uniting
of three predecessor bodies, we realize that our roots reach deep into
the soil of the Lutheran Confessions and we draw constant nourishment from our
biblical foundations.
So we really are an old church with a
different name and structure from those of our three predecessor
church bodies. We are a particular gathering of people known as the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. As part of the whole Church
of Christ, we announce and declare the teachings of the prophets and
apostles and seek to confess in our time the faith once delivered to
the saints.
