St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church

About this church

St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church begins Adult Sunday School at 8:30 a.m. and worship at 9:30 at 229 South Broad Street in Jersey Shore. Children's Church meets in the social room during the 9:30 service. The current schedule replaces an older 8 a.m. chapel service, so the single later worship hour is the one visitors should use. The church also publishes worship materials and online participation information through its official site.

The congregation's history reaches back to services held on the second floor of Calvert and Staver Hall and a prayer meeting of four people in the pastor's South Main Street home. A church building dedicated in 1869 initially housed worship in its lecture room, and installation of a pipe organ in 1932 was marked by a full week of music. The chapel continues to serve for meditation, baptisms, weddings, Holy Communion, and other services even though weekly worship now gathers at 9:30. That history gives the compact Sunday schedule a distinctive architectural and musical setting. Adults can arrive an hour early for study, families can use Children's Church during worship, and visitors interested in Lutheran liturgy can review the posted bulletin material before attending. Because seasonal and Holy Week documents appear separately, the standing worship page remains the best source for a normal Sunday.
