This Week’s Teaching

Pre-Call Congregational Bible Study – we will spend the next 6 weeks working through this Bible Study series.  St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church is working towards calling a new senior pastor.  While this process takes approximately 9-12 months, the first step is this Bible Study series, to help prepare the congregation for a workshop taking place on July 15th.  For more information, please visit:  Call Process.  Join us as we journey together, Rooted in the Word! [/cs_text][x_line style=”border-top-width: 1px;”][/cs_column][/cs_row][cs_row inner_container=”false” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_custom_headline level=”h3″ looks_like=”h3″ accent=”false”]Matthew 28:16-20[/x_custom_headline][x_columnize]Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted.  And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”  

“And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” – Mark 16:15

Every Sunday @ 9:30 am – 10:30 am – FAMILY LIFE CENTER
Join us for CITW, a communal bible study where we learn together what it means to live our faith. Each week we’ll release a lesson, accompanied scripture. The hope is that you read and study prior to arriving on Sunday. Then stick around and see how the New Testament Scripture echos throughout our Worship service and connects to the Psalm and focus of the sermon.
