 The
'spirit' of Saint John Lutheran began in the early 1950's, as
the idea of forming a new Lutheran church was discussed. Many
felt that the best location for this new congregation would be
in the northern area of Norfolk, to serve the growing Naval Base
and beach community. With this in mind, Saint John Lutheran was
founded in 1953 and quickly grew to be one of the largest
congregations in this area of Norfolk.
Today, we may not be as large as the
congregation of the late 50's and 60's, but the 'spirit' of
Saint John Lutheran continues on within each one of us. This can
be seen through the participation and involvement of each of our
members.
Currently Saint John Lutheran hosts a
variety of activities including Saint John Lutheran School- a
pre - K through 1st grade school (see the link to Our School),
weekday and Sunday Bible studies, a choir, trips and lunches for
our seniors, youth groups, and a variety of other activities. We
continue to support the ministries of the community through our
weekly collection of canned goods for F.O.R. Kids, participate
in Ocean View Ecumenical Ministries, the USO, and other organizations. We are the
monthly meeting place for the Northside Civic League. Saint John
Lutheran Church is an ELCA congregation.
