Our Mission is: To connect people to Jesus Christ, the Savior, through the Gospel so that all may discover “Real Life” for eternity.

St. John Lutheran
Our Mission is: Under construction by Church Council
Our Vision is: Under construction by Church Council
History of congregation: German speaking immigrant families from the Provinces of Posen, West Prussia and Pomerania began settling in area around Fall Creek in the late 1850’s. Early families were served by traveling missionaries. Pastor Wilhelm J. Friedrich was ordained and installed on October 2, 1864 as Pastor and the follow month the Congregation was formally organized as St. John Lutheran Church. Pastor Friedrich served the congregation for 36 years until his death in 1900. Fifteen other pastors have served this congregation since 1900.
The current historic structure dates back to 1872, as the first building was destroyed in 1870 by a tornado. An educational wing was added in 1980. St. John was the first Lutheran congregation in all of Eau Claire County and joined the Missouri Synod in 1877. St. John under the direction of Pastor Friedrich helped establish numerous rural Lutheran congregations in Eau Claire, Buffalo, Pepin, Dunn and Chippewa Counties.
St. John has a rich history in education and world mission outreach. They operated a parochial school during three different periods of their history. During the 1990’s the congregation under Pastor Paul Bittner with direct involvement of members were involved in mission work in the Baltic States and Kazakhstan.
