What a joy it is to welcome our students and families back to St. John’s for another school year! After all the preparation, planning, and anticipation, it has been wonderful to see our classrooms and hallways filled with students again. Thank you, parents and families, for entrusting your children to us. We consider it a tremendous privilege to partner with you in educating, encouraging, and caring for these young souls.

Our theme this year is “Rooted in Christ,” based on Colossians 2:6–7: “So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him…” As we begin this new year together, our prayer is that everything we do at St. John’s—learning, teaching, playing, serving, succeeding, and even struggling—would be firmly rooted in Jesus and his Word.

We are excited to see what the Lord has in store for our St. John’s family this year. May God bless our students, teachers, staff, and families as together we grow deeper roots in Christ and build our lives upon him! ~ Mr. Sydow

Some churches teach that if a person follows God, God responds by granting prosperity and peace, as would only be expected. Today we see how that is nonsense. The Bible explains that if we are part of the Church of God, we will have to bear crosses.

We carry our crosses because we know that in those moments of struggle, we are forced to turn to Christ and rely on his strength.

Join us for worship as we explore an unexpected path, the one Jesus himself walked: the cross comes before the crown.

Worship Services: 8:00 am and 10:30 am

Can’t join us in person? We also livestream our services for those worshiping from home.

Jesus asked, “Who do you say I am?” It’s the most important question in the world, and it is a question every human being must answer.

Jesus is a real human being, the Son of Man. He is also Lord and Savior, the Son of the living God. This unexpected truth is the core of saving faith.

Join us for worship as we understand how Jesus is both true man and true God—an unexpected truth!

Worship Services: 8:00 am and 10:30 am

If you’re not able to join us in person, our service is livestreamed and can be found on our website.

“All are welcome!” Is that true at our church? Or is church meant only for people of the right heritage who behave the right way, “good church folk”?

Join us for worship as Jesus shows us the church is for all people–regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, or social status.

Our new series “Unexpected Truths” begins this Sunday!

Worship Services: 8:00 am and 10:30 am

The opening lines of the United States Declaration of Independence boldly assert that certain truths are “self-evident”—truths accessible to human reason and widely recognized by observation of the world.

Lutherans, however, note that the most important truths revealed in the Bible are not self-evident at all. In fact, they frequently appear surprising or even contrary to human expectations.

Biblical truth is revealed by God rather than discovered by reason alone. While some truths may seem obvious to human judgment, the truths of the Bible are often unexpected.

Next week, we begin a new series and discover the unexpected truths God reveals to us. We invite you to join us for worship!

Wherever faith clings to the promises of God, doubt is always lingering. People doubt God’s care, God’s promises, or God’s providence.

The answer to doubt is not found in loud, dramatic demonstrations. The true answer to doubt is found in the still small voice of our Savior God whispering to us in his Word. Through Word and sacrament, Christ reaches out to us with nail-scarred hands, proof of his great love. Our faith is restored.

Join us for worship as we learn how Christians answer doubt with faith.

The hardest times to trust God are the times we need him most.

God provides us innumerable spiritual blessings and promises us an eternity of peace and joy. If we recognize those spiritual blessings, how can we doubt that God will give us everything we truly need at the right time?

Join us for worship as we learn how Christians trust God to provide.
