Empowered by the unconditional love of Christ, St. John's Lutheran Church seeks to be a diverse and compassionate congregation that embodies God's love in Atlanta and in the world.

As a family of friends, we gather in a circle around gifts of bread and wine so that we might experience together genuine reconciliation and receive strength for the life of faith. We won't claim to have all the answers, but we do trust that God will always be with us on the journey as we ask the questions. Every Sunday, we expect to hear ancient words of good news made powerfully relevant for our lives and for the world in which we live. As Lutheran Christians, we give thanks for a vibrant history that still calls for us to be agents of reform in the church and in the world.

Because Jesus called us to be a church in a diverse and urban environment, we are called to make sure that the face of our congregation reflects all the faces that live in our neighborhood and beyond. Diversity is a gift that helps us to be more faithful. We are committed to be generous with our gifts of time, talent, and wealth for this joyful mission of hospitality, reconciliation, and justice in our neighborhood, in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and in the world.

Upcoming events in the life of St. John's are listed below.

New Adult Sunday School class is underway! The adult Sunday School class series, "Discerning Your Spiritual Gifts" is being led by Pastor Steve. Mark your schedule for the next three Sundays: April 21, 28 and May 5. Join us in the Fellowship Hall as close to 9:15 as you can get there. You will learn what is in the Bible about Spiritual Gifts; you'll be able to take an inventory to help you recognize your gifts; you'll have opportunity to claim how you are already or may in the future use your gifts at St John's, in your community, and your place of vocation.

Church Potluck: Sunday 5 May (after church). Over the past few months, many have shared that they have been missing the chance to gather around a potluck meal. So back by popular demand, Congregational Care will host a potluck on May 5th. Everyone is encouraged to bring a dish to share - enough to feed your family plus 5 others. The Call Committee has asked for some time to give the congregation an update on the call process. The rest of the time, plan to visit with members while sharing a meal.

Living Lutheran Means... Check out the St. John's video "A Place of Love and Justice" to see what some of our members say it means to "Live Lutheran". The Living Lutheran contest has now concluded and the winners will be announced at the ELCA Churchwide Assembly. Although we didn't get the most votes, the judges' decisions will be announced in August. Thank you to everyone who voted, tried to vote, and/or encouraged others to vote for us!!
