After having been located in the center of town for many years, St. John Lutheran Church moved to its current home on Paddock Avenue in 1970. Led by pastor Jim Stoltenberg, a native Minnesotan, parishners show a strong commitment to the greater community through outreach projects. Church volunteers participate in Christmas In Action, a Habitat for Humanity-type program that repairs already established houses for disadvantaged homeowners. The parish also has a women's ministry, music ministry and Eucharistic ministry, and is well known for its affiliated pre-school.
