St. John’s Lutheran Church and School
Ministry Expansion Campaign

Here at St. John's Lutheran Church and School, we take saving souls seriously. Since the inception of our church and school in 1848, St. John's Lutheran School has been an integral part of our mission to Love and Lead All to Jesus. In the past five years alone, the school has brought 49 children and eight adults to the waters of Holy Baptism!

 

Also in the past five years, St. John's Lutheran School has experienced tremendous growth! Enrollment increased 24% in preschool and 46% in grades K-8! And, although St. John's continues to grow, the aging building is stifling its true potential. With three grades currently at capacity, we're quickly running out of space. Five prospective students were even turned away, simply because there wasn't enough room.


The ministry expansion campaign, "Building for Eternity," addresses these issues by connecting the church and the school, expanding the school’s footprint to 12,000 square feet, and renovating the current 40-year-old school building.

In John 15:16, Jesus reminds us of our identity and calling. He says, “I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will last.” Expanding St. John’s Lutheran School not only helps fulfill the church’s mission to Love and Lead All to Jesus, but also answers the call from Christ to bear fruit that will last. The eternal salvation of countless kids depends on it.

Welcome to
St. John's!

It all comes down to this: 

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his

only Son, that whoever believes in Him should 

not perish but have eternal life."

-John 3:16

And this is why it's our prayer for every person to know God's love and to share it in word and deed.

Our mission is simple and straightforward:

Loving and leading all to Jesus.
