St. John's Lutheran Church invites and welcomes all people to experience the Good News of God's grace, forgiveness and unfailing love. The Good News calls and empowers us to share God's love in word and deed throughout our city, nation and world.

Social Ministry

St. John’s Social Ministry Team promotes and coordinates opportunities to make faith active in love within the congregation as well as the Des Moines community. We work with many partners and agencies to help feed the hungry, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless and welcome the stranger. (See the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 25.) There are opportunities for all ages to serve others and be what we say we are – “in the city for good!”
