St. John Lutheran Church offers a wide range of Christian Education opportunities for all ages through the Sunday School and LIFE Midweek School. Christian Counseling is offered through Lutheran Family Services. The Bible is God's Word, spoken through human writers. Sin is revolt against God in thought, word and deed. Every person is guilty of sin against God.
Sin also is the cause of the bad things people do to each other.
Lutherans proudly display the sign of the cross, a symbol used by all Christians. The cross symbolizes the terrible death that Jesus suffered as punishment for their sins. How Lutherans Got Started Lutherans take their name from Martin Luther. He was a German priest who sought to reform the Roman Catholic Church in the early 1500s and return the church to its Biblical foundation. Luther's writing, debating, preaching and teaching sparked the Protestant Reformation.
