St. John’s Sauers Lutheran Church was organized in 1838. We are the oldest Lutheran congregation in Jackson County and the second oldest Missouri Synod congregation in Indiana. With the Lord's blessing and through the work of our members, we have grown from a handful of faithful Christians to a congregation of nearly 700 members. We also maintain an elementary school (pre-school, kindergarten, and grades 1 - 8) of 115 students.
St. John’s has provided Christian education in Jackson County for over 170 years. We are accredited by the Indiana Department of Education and the Lutheran Church's National Lutheran School Accreditation Association. More importantly, we provide a Christ-centered education we provide. If you are considering a new school for your children or a relocation to our area, we would love to have you be our guest.
