Who we are
Our Mission
God’s Vision…Our Mission
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations. baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am always with you, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20
As people created in the image of God, saved by His Son, Jesus Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we believe in the one true living God; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. As His people, we are called by God to go forth into the world to proclaim the Good News, share the love of Christ, and make disciples of all people.

St John Lutheran Church History
The congregation of St. John’s Lutheran Church was organized July 5, 1840, by the Rev. George Klapp. At the time, Sidney had 713 inhabitants and forests still covered large portions of the county. The first Church Council was installed on November 1, 1840. A list found in the first record of the congregation, dated October 30, 1842, contains the names of 33 communicant members.
During the first 14 years of its existence, St. John’s congregation had no church building of its own and services were conducted in the homes of members, halls, and churches of other denominations. The congregation finally secured a church home of its own in 1854 by purchasing the modest frame building and lot on Water Street vacated by the Associate Presbyterians, who had built it in 1835.
The congregation continued to grow, reaching 200 communicants by 1885, and a new church building was constructed and dedicated on October 14, 1888. The congregation grew to a membership of 600 by 1923 and this second building was used until 1927 when the congregation outgrew it. The cornerstone of the building that stands today was laid July 17, 1927. The educational wing was constructed in 1960.
Today, St. John’s Lutheran Church is a thriving congregation of nearly 500 members. And though we are proud of the building in which we worship, the heart of our congregation beats outside these walls, in our neighborhoods, communities, and in our relationships. We take seriously our mission to make disciples of all nations but know that our calling ultimately begins right here, with our families, friends, and neighbors.
