A Spiritual Home in DeWitt County

You Are Welcome Here

If you are looking for a spiritual home in the northwestern DeWitt County area, we have two possibilities for you to consider — St. John Lutheran Church in Westhoff, and St. John Lutheran Church in Lindenau.

For over one hundred years, both churches have served the Lord through a rich legacy of faith and rural tradition. Since 1969 our two congregations have shared pastors and ministerial resources — two churches joined in one ministry.

Both are places where people come to worship and share the love and grace of our Savior, Jesus Christ — where committed Christians genuinely care for one another and are active in carrying out Christ’s mission. We would love for you and your family to join our families and share the warmth of our worship and the friendliness of our members.
