Call Extended to Pastor Isaac

On July 1, 2025, Pastor Isaac received a Divine Call to serve as the discipleship pastor at Divine Savior Lutheran Church in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Worship returns onsite 6/29 @10:00 AM

Good news! Church leadership has found a resolution which now means we can resume onsite services, events, and activities.

Church leadership will continue to pursue more information and options to ensure a robust insurance policy for St. John’s. Please do not hesitate to contact Pastor Isaac or church council with any questions.

As it stands right now, thanks to God, we will see you this Sunday, June 29, onsite at church at 10:00 am with fellowship and Bible talk to follow after service!

Come find a fresh start in the love of Jesus — no matter who you are, what you've done or how you see yourself.

But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Isaiah 40:31

What We Believe

We draw what we believe and teach from the ageless wisdom and truth of God’s Word—the Bible. God’s Word provides us the confidence to pursue opportunities and confront problems old and new.

Healing

Jesus sacrificed himself to remove our sins. In his love we can find healing for how others have hurt us, how we’ve hurt others, or even how we’ve hurt ourselves.

Hope

God will never abandon us. From our darkest days to our most joyous moments…he is with us, always with a plan. God is faithful and always provides hope in Jesus.

Community

God connects us together in Christ as his family, changing and energizing our hearts with his love.

Purpose

Purpose

Every unique human being shares two common purposes that fill our life with meaning: to honor God and to serve others.
