St. John’s Lutheran Congregation

Members and friends of St. John’s are involved as a congregation to nurture one another in faith, to share in fellowship, to reach out to the community as we use our gifts to do the work of the Lord. We are involved in adult choir, arts task force, church council, outreach committee, Rachel Circle, craft club for kids, prayer group, quilting, service trips, and other things!

We support ProJeCt of Easton, the Center for Family Assistance and Literacy, by sharing our building and resources.

History

Near the fork of the Delaware and Lehigh Rivers of Easton, PA, early German Lutheran settlers and their family and friends met in worship to God. The first minister, John J. J. Birkenstock began to keep records of the Lutheran congregation in 1780.

This date is commonly accepted as the founding of the church.

Lutherans laid the cornerstone for the current church building in 1830. A rich history of worship services and outreach to the community continues even today.

We invite you to join us because we are in the city for a reason!
