St. John’s receives and shares the good news of God’s grace in Jesus and supports our neighbors in life’s needs.

St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church is a parish on Myrtle Avenue in Glendale, Queens. We are a community of people in the Atlantic District LCMS, which is a member district of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS). Our worship is steeped in the liturgy of the means of grace, in which we come before God to receive his gifts of forgiveness, life, and salvation. And we stand in the theological tradition that gives confession to the documents compiled in the Book of Concord.

For 180 years we have aimed to keep the central claim of the Lutheran confessional documents—that our sins are forgiven and we are justified before God, by grace, for Christ’s sake, through faith, and we have endeavored to live out this faith by loving our neighbors.
