We therefore welcome into our shared ministry people of all races, ethnicities and national origins; we affirm people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions as beloved children of God; and we strive to be accessible to persons of all ages, persons with disabilities; and persons who are unhoused. All are welcome!
Happening at St. John's:
St. John's welcomes new pastorPlease join us for worship on Sunday, September 15 for the first service to be led by our new full-time pastor, the Rev. Jennifer Roberts!
A graduate of Lutheran Southern Seminary, Pastor Jennifer comes to us most recently from the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in downtown Atlanta, where she has been serving as Interim Associate Pastor for Congregational Care, having previously been pastor at Resurrection Lutheran in Newnan. She lives in Lilburn with her husband, Ashton Roberts, who is also an ELCA pastor (currently serving at All Saints Lutheran, Lilburn), their son, Zion, and their dog, Hank. Pastor Jennifer is thrilled to be joining - and we are no less thrilled to have her lead us on to the next stage of our ministry as a congregation on the Ponce corridor. Also, be sure to mark your calendars for Sunday, October 27, at 3:30 pm, when Pastor Jennifer will be officially installed in her post at St. John's by the Southeastern Synod.
