BIG
FAMILY
In 1852 our congregation began with only 2 families the Thiessens and the Reese's... and over the years our congregation has grown and we have experienced many changes and had our share of challenges like many churches during the pandemic we had our share of trials but we are happy to announce we have weathered our storms , made it through our challenges and excited for the new things the Lord is doing both within and around us in the community we are part of.
who will you find here at St. John Lutheran Elyria? People just like yourself: young, old, hopeful, a mixture of colors, life experiences!
