Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ, who was, who is, and who is coming again as He promised at His
ascension into glory.
As the pastor of St. John Lutheran Church, Calgary, AB, I warmly welcome
you, both to our website as well as to our congregation. We are a
Christian Church who worship and celebrate God's goodness through the
teachings and practices of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church in Canada. We believe in the
Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (not three gods, but one God
coeternal and coequal yet three distinct persons).
Jesus Christ, God's son, is our human connection with God, God who came
to His creation to experience the human life with its joys, temptations,
pain and sorrows. Jesus Christ having experienced our humanity Himself
was sent by the Father, and willingly gave His life as a ransom for our
salvation. We believe that Jesus paid the price and has freed us from
our sins, from death, and from the power of evil. So out of
thanksgiving to God for what He has done for us, through His Son, we go
into the world to share that love of God in service to our neighbours.
We welcome you to come and worship with us in the hope that all may
experience the love God has for His creation.
Please view our website for more
information and programs that we offer through the church.
Sunday worship with Holy Communion: 10:30 a.m.
