Our Purpose
To come together as a community of women created in the image of God, called to discipleship in Jesus Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit.
Together, we commit ourselves to grow in faith, affirm our gifts, support one another in our callings, engage in ministry and action, and promote healing and wholeness in the church, the society, and the world.
Our Mission
- To mobilize women to boldly act on their faith in Jesus Christ
- To affirm the uniqueness, individuality, creativity, and diversity of all women through the Women’s Ministries at St. John’s.
- To encourage growth in Bible Study, fellowship, worship, support, and service for women of all ages at St. John’s.
- To promote outreach opportunities for the women of St. John’s.

Women’s Circles Study
Lutheran Women Today is the national magazine published by Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America in partnership with Augsburg Fortress. It is a collection of articles written to promote growth in our faith and mission. The theme for each issue centers on the Bible study, which is included. This bible study is the basis for the three circles (morning, afternoon and evening) to study each month. We have Circles that meet in the morning, afternoon, and evening.
Bible/Book Studies
In addition to our Circles, there are various Bible Study/Book Study Groups that meet throughout the year:
Tuesday Morning Bible Study
Moms' Bible Study

Book Clubs: Morning, Evening
U.S. Service Members Support Group
