Who We Are

St. John is a growing rural/suburban Lutheran church serving the greater Boiling Springs area.

We believe the most important priority of our church is to continue Christ’s mission to make disciples: know Jesus and make Jesus known.

What We Believe

As a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, we believe that we are freed by the grace of Christ to live faithfully, to serve and love our neighbor.

With our hands, we do God’s work of restoring and reconciling individuals and communities in Jesus Christ’s name throughout the world.

Meet Our Pastor

Pastor Virginia Cover has been serving as the interim pastor at St. John since January of 2024. The church is in the process of calling a new pastor. Read our Ministry Site Profile.

Home Sewers Needed

Kits with blocks cut are ready to be picked up for sewing. All are welcome to join the group on workdays to tie knot quilts, no skill required. Anyone can tie a knot. We currently have a good supply of fabrics to make many more quilts for those in need at home and abroad.

Coat Drive update

The coat drive yielded 49 COATS which were delivered to Carlisle Community Cares on February 1st. They reported that more than 1000 coats have been handed out so far this winter. Thank you to everyone who donated!

Pretzels for Lent

St. John friends gathered for a bit of Lenten fun on Sunday after church. Vanessa taught us that pretzels are shaped like us when we hold our arms across our chest. That position was used when praying in the early days of the church. She then taught us how to roll and shape the dough into a pretzel.

While Vanessa and Jody were baking the pretzels, Jimmy and Olivia helped the children build things with 40 blocks, create a prayer paper chain with names of people we wanted to pray for, and plant tulip bulbs to watch for signs of new life the spring.

It was a fun-filled time with lots of hands-on learning about lent!
