General Info

We appreciate your time with us, and hope you'll visit with us soon in downtown Madison. Since 1856, St. John's has served the heart of the Madison community. The congregation is managed by its congregational council and committees who oversee and implement a fourfold mission for outreach, small group learning, worship, and congregational care. Currently 900 members consider St. John's their church home. It is a member congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Christmas Worship: On Christmas Eve, candlelight services with Holy Communion will be held at 4: 30 and 6: 00pm. Christmas Day Holy Communion is at 10: 00am, and on December 26, worship is at 9: 30 am, the usual Sunday morning time. St Johns is a Reconciling in Christ Congregation. At the November, 2006 congregational meeting, the congregation overwhelmingly voted to become affiliated with LC/NA, Lutheran Concerned in North America, a group of primarily Lutheran congregations dedicated to openness to all regardless of race, background, gender or sexual orientation. Two years ago, the congregation adopted a resolution on the formation and affirmation of household covenants.
