About

St John's was founded in 1745 and is considered one of the oldest churches in active ministry in NC.  In 2020, we celebrated 275 years in mission in Cabarrus County.  Today, we are forge our future and move Forward in Faith toward another 275 years.

St John's is located in eastern Cabarrus County about 7 miles east of Concord, NC.  Our congregational home includes a historic church and sanctuary, an education building that houses St John's Playschool, a fellowship hall, and the Heritage Center.  

Our members participate in worship at 10:00 am and Sunday school at 9:00 am.  Our approach to using outreach opportunities to share God's love to our community and beyond makes St John's a leader among other ELCA churches in the area.

NEWCOMERS AND VISITORS:

We hope that you feel welcome at our services and events!  Our Sunday service is held in our historic sanctuary.  When you enter the narthex, our ushers will welcome you and ask you to sign our guest register.  If needed, the restroom is to the right and an infant care room is to the left.  In the sanctuary, please sit where you are comfortable.  Children are always welcome during our services!  During the worship, Lutherans will stand during portions of the service and be seated at other times.  

All who have been baptized are welcome to receive holy Communion. Babies and young children will receive a blessing from our minister.  In each tray, grape juice is in the middle and the outside is wine. If you would like to discuss baptism or SJLC communion practices with children, please feel free to contact the pastor.
