There will still be stewardship opportunities through the end of December 2024.
If you haven’t turned in your commitment card for 2025, please do so. There’s also an opportunity to match a gift given to offset our budget deficit for 2024 and end the year in the black!
Welcome to St. John Lutheran Church!
We, the community of St. John Lutheran Church (ELCA), embrace the mystery of God’s love for all creation. We’re located in South Fargo near the entrance to Lindenwood Park.
As a gathering community of Christ we are called to live and be Christ in community and as part of that community we commit to working for racial equity and justice in the world. Living in grace, we strive to see Jesus shining in all people of any sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, race, ethnic origin, age, economic reality, family status, diverse ability, or faith perspective. Through God’s embracing grace, we celebrate as full participants in the life and ministry of St. John Lutheran.
“for all of you are one in Christ.” -Galatians 3:28
Our Mission
Welcomed in Christ. Called to community. Sent to serve.
