• St. John Lutheran Church

      Columbia, MD

      A Discipling Culture Church

      Asking the essential questions:

       

      "What is God saying to me?"

      "What am I going to do about it?"

       

    • FROM OUR PASTORS

      “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayers and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

      [Philippians 4:4-7]

      Every week at St John:

      • Worship live on Sundays at 10:15 AM at the “St John Lutheran Church, Columbia, MD” Facebook page. We’ll send the link out by e-letter as the broadcast begins for those not on Facebook.

      • Gather your supplies for Communion: Pastor Dan will lead a virtual Lord’s Supper at Sunday morning virtual worship. If possible, set up a small alter with a cross and candle. Have bread and grape juice (or wine) for your family so we can share the elements together during worship. If you don’t have juice, just bread is fine.
      • A team of staff and lay pastors have been making phone calls to every member for care and connection. If we missed you, or you have specific needs now, send a message to office@stjohnmd.org or call the office at (410) 799-8888. Please make sure we have your updated contact information.

      • We are praying for you daily and also for the needs of the local, national, and global community.

         

        United with you in Christ,

       

      —Pastors Dan and Karen

    • Kelsey Lamothe

      UPDATE FROM KELSEY LAMOTHE, our friend and missionary in Botswana -

      "Things here are going alright, although with lock down in place, ministry is definitely a bit slow and my focus has shifted primarily to learning the language here." ​

       

       

      Prayer requests from Kelsey:

       

      Prayers for Youth for Christ Botswana:
      —that God would lead us in how best to minister to people in this unusual time,
      —that He’d keep working in the hearts of the students we’ve been working with,
      —and that we would be examples in adhering to the guidelines put out by the government.

      Let’s also pray for Kelsey’s protection and courage, and for her family in the US.

       

      You can receive Kelsey's blog via email by contacting the office at office@stjohnmd.org and we will forward your request to Kelsey.

      A Balanced Life

      Our Vision & Mission

      God has given us a wonderful life to live to His glory. Jesus lived such a life and we see this demonstrated as a balanced life in three dimensions. We seek to grow in our relationship with God, learn how to live in community, boldly bring hope to the world.

      Worship

      Time invested lingering in Christ's presence

      Join us on Facebook Live on Sundays at 10:15 AM at the “St John Lutheran Church, Columbia, MD” page.
       

      Family on Mission

      Missional Communities as Christ intends

      We believe spiritual growth happens best in community. God didn’t design us to live in isolation or to walk in our faith alone, but rather created us to grow through being with others who are also focused on Him.
