St. John Lutheran Church

Greetings in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ:
It is with great joy that we welcome you into the midst of the congregation of Saint John in Ponca Hills (Omaha). We like to think of one another as “family” and we invite you to check out our worship services and Bible studies. We strive to make every worship experience a fresh and enriching experience and hope you will join us on Sunday to see it for yourself. We are Missouri Synod Lutherans which means we hold the Bible and all it’s teachings to be God-inspired and without error. We teach the whole of Scripture and abide by its teachings in all we say and do.

While we are “family”, like most families we are also individuals, each valued and loved by God, and each with their own set of life situations and gifts from God. We try to live as God would want us to, but in accordance with Romans 3:23, (…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God) we recognize that each of us are sinners in need of the forgiveness God freely gives and the heavenly salvation we receive through faith, not works, as a gift of the Holy Spirit. We have people of all sorts from singles to families, kids, no kids, and grand kids, blue-collar to professional, and life-long Lutherans to those just now exploring the claims of Christ.

We want to be your neighborhood church and we hope that we will see you sometime soon. Don’t hesitate to call upon us with any needs or questions. We are here to serve the kingdom of God by serving our neighbors.

Mission & beliefs

God loves the people of the world, even though they are sinful, rebel against Him and do not deserve His love. He sent Jesus, His Son, to love the unlovable and save the ungodly.

Who is Jesus?

No one else has influenced history as He has.

  •  Jesus is the Son of God. Old Testament prophets spoke of His coming and described the eternal and life-changing impact He would have.
  •  Jesus is both God and man. He stilled the seas and walked on water. With a touch of His hand, He cured incurable diseases. He restored life to those who had physically died.
  •  Jesus personifies love. He paid the ultimate price so that we could live with Him forever. He sees us through the eyes of love.
  •  He loves us in spite of every hurtful thought, every harmful word, and every wrongful action. These are all a result of sin, which contaminates everything we do. It is behind every broken home, every empty life, every infirmity, every damaged emotion, every sorrow and grief. And as the Bible says, the end result of sin is death (Rom. 6:23). But Jesus Himself was sinless; only He could pay the penalty for our sins.
  •  Because of his love He suffered, died, and rose again.
  •  We are forgiven. All who believe in Jesus are guaranteed eternal life with Him in heaven.

 Why did Jesus do this?  Because Jesus is love.
