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.
Church Directory Update
We are preparing to print an updated church directory soon. Since we have welcomed new members and many contact details have changed (phone numbers, email addresses, and mailing addresses), we want to be sure our information is current and complete.
Please take a few moments to fill out the Disciples in Action Information Sheet. This form not only helps us update the directory, but also highlights ways you can serve here at St. John Lutheran Church. Simply check the boxes for any areas where you would like more information, and the leader of that ministry will reach out to you.
Kindly return your completed form by March 15:
Hard copy: Available in the sanctuary
Thank you for helping us keep our church family connected!
Shining into the New Year
A Wellness Support Group
As we step into the new year, I’m choosing to make small, healthy changes—like cutting back on sugar—and I’d love a supportive community to help those changes stick.
If you’re also hoping to care for your body, mind, and spirit in gentle, sustainable ways, I invite you to join me as we shine into the new year together. We’ll begin by connecting to talk about how and when we’d like to meet, and how we want to move forward as a group.
Interested? Text Teresa Shakespeare at 717-448-0817.
St. John Garden Update:
The garden steering committee thanks the congregation for your continuing support! We are pleased to announce that we are making progress with implementing this outreach. We will be ordering raised metal beds soon to get the planting started! In the meantime, we are putting out an all-call for cardboard (plain, tape and stickers removed...no color print, no shiny cardboard...for sheet mulching) and used bricks (for a border). The cardboard can be stashed in the plastic container outside the church office, and the bricks can be stacked out at the end of the garden. Thanks for your help!
Calling All Sewers!
We Need Stitchers! Take a Quilt Kit Home
Quilt patch kits are cut and ready to go! Take a kit home, sew the quilt top, and return it so our LWR group can layer and tie it.
The quilting ladies meet the 2nd & 4th Tuesdays at 9:15 AM to assemble and knot the quilts.
You can help — even from home. Pick up a kit and start stitching! Kits are located on the table at the rear of the sanctuary.
Interested in Joining our Faith Community?
