St. John's Lutheran Church

About this church

St. John's Lutheran Church offers traditional worship Sundays at 8:30 and 10:30 a.m., contemporary worship at 10:30, and an evening service at 6:30. Traditional liturgies use organ, choir, and hymns; contemporary worship features a band with guitar and drums. Every gathering includes a Bible-focused message, and livestreaming is available for people who cannot attend. Visitors are told that “California casual” clothing is common. Coffee and doughnuts are served in the Courtyard, while parking is available in the city lot across from the Sanctuary, the church lot off Almond Street, and the garage at Chapman and Shaffer.

Nursery care operates during the 8:30 and 10:30 morning services. Sunday School for preschool through fifth grade meets at 10:30, youth Bible study begins at 9:45, and an adult Teaching Church class runs from 9:45 to 10:25. Worship and music teams include ushers, greeters, Communion servers, lectors, technical volunteers, choir, praise band, and handbells. Outreach supports vulnerable children and caregivers in Orange County through respite, care communities, and temporary host families, along with mission partnerships in Kenya and Mexico. The site does not state service length, Communion eligibility, baptism preparation, children's check-in or volunteer-screening standards, step-free routes, hearing assistance, or which style occupies each 10:30 venue.
