| ...and what does the Lord require of you, but to do justice, to love kindness, and walk humbly with your God? - Micah 6:8 | ||||
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. |
