“Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”

Our regular service time is every Sunday morning at 9:30am. We celebrate Divine Service with the Holy Sacrament on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of every month. On the 5th Sunday of the month, we pray Matins. 

We have Bible Study at 8:30am before the service on Sunday as well another Bible study after the service. We also have a midweek Bible Study at 9:30am on Wednesday.

If you are not new to church but you are new to the Missouri Synod (our church body), some things will be very familiar and some things might be very new to you. The way we worship is not new but is in fact very old. Our pastor wears clothing (called vestments) and the church is decked in colors for that particular day in the cycle of readings and celebrations called the Church Year. The readings take us through the account of Christ and His Church each year. Realize that when you join us, nothing we are doing was invented yesterday. 

We eagerly invite you to please bring your kids to God’s house. We know it is not easy to get them ready in the morning, but this is the absolute best place you could have brought them today. If they make some noise or squirm around, that is completely fine. Do not worry at all. Where else would God want His children except in His house? We are so glad you are here. 

In the Lord's Supper, we eat and drink the true Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins, according to our Lord's institution. Because of its seriousness and reality, we administer Holy Communion only to members of St. John and to members of other Missouri Synod congregations who are in fellowship with our congregation and our pastor. (If you are visiting from one of our sister Missouri Synod congregations, please introduce yourself to our pastor before the service to announce that you wish to receive the Sacrament.)

If you are joining us for the first time from a different denomination or are not familiar with the Missouri Synod, please refrain from Holy Communion. Do your best to follow along in the service by simply listening and watching. Our pastor will be glad to speak with you to address any questions you may have about what we believe or about joining our fellowship in Christian faith and life. We are excited to meet you and are already praying for you.
