St. John's Lutheran Church
Dover, Delaware
734-7078
St. John's Lutheran church is a Missouri Synod church which has served the Dover community for 80 years.
We are currently served by Pastor Arthur Kringel. Pastor Art has served St. John's since 1980. Pastor and his wife Dottie have been instrumental in expanding Christian education opportunities in Dover. Pastor and Dottie had a vision for an Early Learning Center which Dottie directed from its inception 15 years ago until her retirement September, 2008. The Early Learning Center's new director is Kelly McColgan.
With much prayer and congregational support St. John's Lutheran School located on Walker Road in Dover was opened in 2000. St. John's and the Dover community have been blessed by having Dr. Dina Vendetti serve as the school's principal. Last year the school's special service project was to raise money for the Lutheran Malaria Initiative The project to raise money for protective nets to fight malaria ended March 4th and was a BIG success. The students had hoped to raise $3500 . . . their total was over $6000! This year's (2012) Missiion Project is PACK ATTACK! The students' goal is to raise $3500 to help the Delaware Food Bank feed hungry kids. Read the February 12,2012 article from the Delaware State News here.
Along with the Early Learning Center and the School, St. John's also has "Mid-Week School", which meets every Thursday at 5:30p.m. during the school year.
St. John's also has a very active youth group thanks to the efforts of Don and Sharon Petersen. In a few short years the youth group has grown into a vibrant, vital part of the St. John's family. For a taste of some youth group activities check out the Youth Group. Youth Group meets on the FIRST FRIDAY and THIRD FRIDAY each month.
