St John's Lutheran Church Wodonga

About

St John's Lutheran Church, Wodonga, has a long and enduring history in the life of the Lutheran Church of Australia. Founded in 1874, it is a place of worship that continues to this day to proclaim God's grace in Word and Sacrament ministry to the people of God and in the wider community. As God's people gathered together by the Holy Spirit, we are "Committed to Sharing Jesus" wherever God has placed us in our lives. This commitment is compelled by God's great love for humanity and for each one of us individually. God showed his great love for us by sending his Son, Jesus, into the world. Through his life, suffering, death and resurrection, Jesus has won new life for all people, and this life of love we are called to share with others. "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). "This is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another" (1 John 4:10-11).
