Established in 1908
St. John’s Lutheran Church was established in Lone Wolf in 1908. As a member of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod the congregation’s mission is to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Christian faith by preaching the Word of God, administration of the Sacraments, and by the religious instruction of youth and adults, according to the confessional standard set forth in the Book of Concord. Our congregation acknowledges and accepts all the canonical books of the Old and New Testaments as the revealed Word of God, verbally inspired, and acknowledges and accepts all the Confessional Writings of the Evangelical Lutheran Church contained in the Book of Concord in the year 1580, to be a true and genuine exposition of the doctrines of the Bible. These writings include the Three Ecumenical Creeds (Apostles’, Nicene, and Athanasian), the Unaltered Augsburg Confession, the Apology of the Augsburg Confession, the Smalcald Articles, Luther’s Large and Small Catechisms, and the Formula of Concord.
St. John’s serves the rural community in and around Lone Wolf, and has an average weekly worship attendance of 40. Other programs offered by our church are weekly Men’s Breakfast Devotionals and Bible Study, mid-week Bible Study, Sunday morning Adult Bible Class and Sunday School, as well as many other fellowship opportunities in the community. In 1990, St. John’s joined Lutheran Ministries of Southwest Oklahoma, an organization partnering St. John’s with two other Lutheran Congregations throughout Southwest Oklahoma: Faith Lutheran in Altus and Christ Lutheran in Elk City. All ministries focus on the mission of “Caring for people in such a way that they meet Jesus.” If you would like to learn more about us, please feel free to contact us.
