Who We Are
St. John is a growing rural/suburban Lutheran church serving the greater Boiling Springs area.
We believe the most important priority of our church is to continue Christ’s mission to make disciples: know Jesus and make Jesus known.
What We Believe
As a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, we believe that we are freed by the grace of Christ to live faithfully, to serve and love our neighbor.
With our hands, we do God’s work of restoring and reconciling individuals and communities in Jesus Christ’s name throughout the world.
Meet Our Pastor
Pastor Virginia Cover has been serving as the interim pastor at St. John since January of 2024. The church is in the process of calling a new pastor. Read our Ministry Site Profile.
Nawakwa is seeking host families for our international counselors this summer! They will arrive on Memorial Day weekend and need transportation to camp every Sunday afternoon (around noon) and pickup on Friday evenings (between 6–8 pm). Host families provide a welcoming home, meals, and may also offer weekend activities, such as a visit to the Gettysburg Battlefield.
If you're interested in hosting, please contact Kelsey Tomlinson, Director of Nawakwa, at ktomlinson@lutherancamping.org or call the camp office at (717) 677-8211.
