St. John's Lutheran Church Website Jobs at St. John's

St. John’s Lutheran School was the first parochial school founded in the City of Orange and is located in the historic Old Towne District. In 1881, a small group of Lutherans who had settled in the area that would later become Orange agreed to organize themselves into a congregation and search for a pastor. In 1882, the St. John’s Lutheran Church constitution was signed by 13 charter members, and a Lutheran school also opened its doors to nine pupils. In 1883, an old school house was purchased and served as both church and school. Two years later, St. John’s officially joined The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. Surrounding land was purchased over the years. In 1929, the corner of Almond and Shaffer was acquired and Building A was built. In 1953, Building B was built and then expanded in 1955. Building C was added in 1958, and the Chapman building opened for instruction in January 2003. Today, St. John’s Lutheran Church is blessed with more than 4,000 members, and school enrollment is over 800 students (preschool - grade 8). St. John’s has played a major role in the development and history of the city and continues to make an impact on the surrounding community.
