A Welcoming Servant in the Heart of the City:
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.

Congregational Values: If you are wondering about the underlying values of the congregation, you may be interested in our theology constuction exercise in adult forums this past January. About 25 of us assembled our thoughts about God, our faith, and our mission in the world into a summary statement. The statement reflects some of the underlying religious values that animate our life together.

Building Vision Plans: On April 13, the Building Vision Team shared with the congregtion the conceptual design for the building renovation and partnerships. The plans include a redevelopment of the ground floor for Off the Square Club, a movement all congregational Sunday activities to the second floor, and offices for the church and others on the third floor. A new East Washington exterior was also developed. (Note that the exterior pdf is 12mg and may be too large as a file to load efficiently.)
