Our congregation

We are your Christian brothers and sisters in the N.E. Minneapolis area. We've shared God's Good News for over 140 years in this neighborhood and we're still alive and vibrant with His love. Our building, with its castle-like appearance, has been a neighborhood landmark for nearly 100 years, and our church is known affectionately in the neighborhood as "The Tree Church."

We recently remodeled our facilities to make them handicapped accessible so that we can better serve those with special challenges. We've added an elevator, off street parking, more spacious seating, and more. Come and see the renewed facilities.

Our pastor is ready to serve you in any way consistent with his office. If you are ill, have spiritual problems or are interested in church membership please contact him by phone (612-379-4296) or e-mail (stjohnsschool@comcast.net).

Our Church body

We are affiliated with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Through our affiliation with this synod we reach out to people of many different backgrounds and cultures all over the world. We support mission work with our donations, our prayers, and our own witnessing.
