The purpose of St. John's Ev. Lutheran School is to make disciples for Christ, using God's Word to assist families, nourishing the souls of children by providing a quality education that is rooted and growing in the truths of God's Word.
We will reach out to the community by witnessing, modeling, and sharing the Gospel message. All this we do to the glory of God out of thankfulness and praise as we prepare students for this life and for eternity.
Our Lutheran elementary school is a special place where children not only learn of God's love for them but also experience this love of God in their daily learning activities; a special climate in which they may grow in their love of God and love of their fellow man.
The purposes of St. John's congregation are being carried out through the Lutheran elementary school as it ministers to our children. Through the joint efforts of church and school in presenting God's Word, we hope to lead all our children to obtain and grow in the saving faith in Jesus Christ.
It is also the intention of the church and school to equip our children to be disciples and witnesses of their Savior.
