About Us

An Evangelical Lutheran Congregation of America, St. John Lutheran Church has a rich and blessed history that dates back to 1836. Our congregation, started by German immigrants who settled in a rural section of the central Ohio area, come to be known as “Windfall”, has gone through many changes, just like the community and world we live in.
