About St John's Evangelical Lutheran
St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Poughkeepsie has served the community since 1901, embodying a welcoming approach to faith that embraces people through all seasons of life. The congregation values community and nurtures relationships with one another and with Jesus, offering two distinct Sunday worship experiences: a contemporary service at 9 AM featuring current music and a casual atmosphere, and a traditional service at 10:30 AM in the main worship space with an adult choir and organ music. Music plays a central role in St. John's worship life, reflecting the Lutheran tradition's belief that music is a gift from God, and the church features diverse musical offerings including handbells, brass ensembles, and various instrumental groups. The church actively engages in community outreach through mission teams focused on hospitality, social ministry, evangelism, and parish care, as well as a food pantry open to the public twice monthly. St. John's welcomes visitors and members alike, inviting all to experience God through worship, service, and learning in a community that embraces people with their questions and complexities.
