Who Are We?
St. John's Lutheran Church is a church with pioneer roots. The history of our congregation began in the late 1800's with the immigration of Lutherans from Germany, Poland, Austria and Russia. Our church has a long history in Strathcona; a wood frame structure was built in 1936. In 1963 the present church was built. Additions to the present structure was dedicated in 1985. Our membership now stands at approximately 92 families. Click here.
