Ministry Expansion Campaign
"Building on a Foundation of Faith"
St. John Lutheran Church and School are resolutely committed to "Building a Foundation of Faith" for future generations in Chester, Illinois. Together, we have the God-inspired opportunity to launch a bold ministry campaign by constructing a new Pre-K through 8th Grade school building.
Christian Focused Growth & Development
We the members of St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church believe that in response to God's Good News we give God praise in all that we do, especially through worship together, Bible study groups, fellowship and mission outreach. We also believe that we can't always live our faith perfectly. That is why we need the forgiveness of our Savior Jesus.
​
Spiritual Nurturing
St. John offers: daily devotions, weekly chapel services, learning and growing together in a Christian environment.
Academic Nurturing
A staff of Christian educators is dedicated to developing the whole child. The spiritual, intellectual, physical, creative, and social needs of each child are recognized and nurtured. St. John's is recognized by the Illinois State Board of Education and offers a progressive curriculum with age-appropriate material.
