Mission Statement

At St. John Lutheran, we believe that it is the will of our Lord Jesus Christ that His disciples should preach the Gospel to the whole world. That Christ's mission for His Church might be carried out according to His will, He has commanded that Christians unite in worship, practice fellowship with one another, witness to all men, help each other grow in the Word, serve the needs of all men in Christian love, administer the Office of the Keys as His Church and maintain decency and order in the Church.  St. John is a congregation in the Minnesota South District of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod.

Beliefs

St. John Lutheran Church is a member of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod teaches and responds to the love of the Triune God: the Father, creator of all that exists; Jesus Christ, the Son, who became human to suffer and die for the sins of all human beings and to rise to life again in the ultimate victory over death and Satan; and the Holy Spirit, who creates faith through God's Word and Sacraments. The three persons of the Trinity are coequal and co-eternal, one God.

Being "Lutheran", our congregation members believe the Bible to be the infallible Word of God. We believe the Bible says what it means and means what it says. We also accept and teach the Bible-based teachings of Martin Luther that inspired the reformation of the Christian Church in the 16th century. The teaching of Luther and the reformers can be summarized in three short phrases: Grace alone, Faith alone, Scripture alone.
