MISSION STATEMENT
Saint John Evangelical Lutheran Church was established in Charter Oak, Iowa in 1881.
125 years later, believing that that Christ teaches us in John 13:34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another," we prayerfully developed our mission statement; "Offering with open arms, the love of Jesus."
