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!

Happening at St. John's:

MOZART'S REQUIEM
NOVEMBER 2 AT 3 PM
You're invited to experience the beautiful music of the Atlanta Music Community and St. John's choir on Sunday, November 2 at 3 PM. This FREE concert will feature the music of Mozart's Requiem in observance of Die de los Muertos. While the concert is FREE we will be taking donations to donate to CURE Childhood Cancer.
THANKSGIVING BLESSING BAGS
NOVEMBER 2 - 23
​
Our confirmation students are not only learning about their faith but they are practicing it in multiple ways and one such way is putting together Thanksgiving Blessing Bags for our unhoused neighbors. Each bag will contain items that are user friendly for our neighbors and will be gifted to them on Thanksgiving Day here at St. John's. The confirmands need your help collecting some of the items. Please click the link below and sign up to provide an item (or two)!
