Sanctuary
Traditional - 9:00AM (Streamed and In-person)
Historic hymns and liturgies, combined with modern worship songs, enhance the timeless message of God’s love and grace. Choirs and special instrumental music, a Bosch tracker organ, Steinway grand piano, and a visually striking setting continue the rich heritage of worship at St. John’s Lutheran Church. The message is both Bible-based and relevant to your life today.

At St. John's we don't have a dress code for worship. Some wear suits and dresses while others choose to worship in jeans.
The clothes aren't the important thing. We hope all feel welcome to come as you are and worship with us!
