Invites freely, loves unconditionally, and serves with joy!

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