150th Anniversary and Autumn Bazaar September, 2021
We may be small is size but not otherwise. We are a very family orientated church and our faith and love of God runs deep in us.
We are active as possible in community affairs and we have a public Hot Dish supper in the spring and on the first Saturday in October we have our Autumn Bazaar.
We are very friendly, open and love to have people worship with us. We love to hear people tell us that when they enter our church it reminds them of their old church and how peaceful it is here adn now they can feel his presence.
In a few years we look forward to celebrating our 150th Anniversary (2021)!

HISTORY:
St. John's Danish Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Church was organized on May 12th, 1870 in the home of Anders Rasmussen, pictured on the left. After many years of searching they settled on the site where the church now stands. |

In the late 50's early 60's the church was remodeled and an entry way was added.
Mission statement for St. John's Lutheran Church:
"Without a vision the people perish."
We as members of St. John's Lutheran Church believe that God is the foundation or our church and lives. As a church we must commit ourselves to grow in faith, affirm our gifts, and support our community and youth, and help them grow steadfast in their faith and service to God. We hope to remain a church of vision and faith.
The Lord is God! He made us- we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Psalms 100:3
