Support Students Attending St. John

We want to extend our heartfelt thank you for all the donations and prayers as we grow our Lutheran SGO (Scholarship Granting Organization) fund this school year. This year, 52 St. John students have received scholarships, totaling over $20,000 in scholarship money dispersed. As enrollment is expected to increase, we anticipate more financial aid will be needed next year. Donations to the Lutheran SGO qualify for a 50% state tax credit on the total amount contributed. All funds directly help families afford Lutheran education at St. John. The mission of St. John reaches over 220 students, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. This is the Word of God, alive and active in our community. With the help of the Lutheran SGO, so many more children will be able to experience the love of Jesus and all his lessons in this place, especially His forgiveness, life, and salvation. THANK YOU. If you would like to contribute this year, please follow this link. Donation Options Together, we can continue strengthening the ministry at St. John Lutheran School, and we invite you to join us in this important mission by contributing to the Lutheran SGO. If you have any questions, please contact Principal Jeff Huntington.

The men of St. John will meet for breakfast, Bible study, and discussion at 7:30 am on Saturday, January 4th. Now is a great time to join this monthly small group as we begin a new study for the new year. Please RSVP for breakfast.
