Saron Lutheran Church-ELCA 510 Main Street, St. Joseph, MI 49085

Welcome to Saron Lutheran Church-ELCA

Located at 510 Main Street in the heart of St. Joseph, Michigan, Saron Lutheran Church is a vibrant and welcoming community of faith. As a congregation of The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), we embrace the belief in a gracious God revealed through the crucified and risen Christ. Baptized into God's family, we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to live as forgiven children, serving both God and our neighbors with joy and gratitude.

At Saron, we believe in celebrating God’s unconditional love and strive to be an inclusive community where everyone is valued and welcomed. We embrace diversity and are committed to racial equity, welcoming people of every ability, age, citizenship status, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, language, marital status, political perspective, race, and sexual orientation. Whatever your life's circumstances, we invite you to join us and experience the joy of community and faith.

Our services are designed to be welcoming for all, with nursery care available during both services to ensure a comfortable and engaging experience for our youngest guests. If you prefer to join us virtually, we offer Zoom Worship Services—please contact us at [email protected] for more information.

Throughout the year, we engage in a variety of activities that foster spiritual growth and community connection. Our book club, for instance, has selected an exciting lineup of reads for the remainder of 2024 and into 2025, starting with "The Housekeepers" by Alex Hay on August 4, 2024. We also host week-to-week studies focusing on the lessons and Gospel readings for the upcoming Sunday.

In addition to spiritual enrichment, we are dedicated to outreach and service. After a two-year hiatus, our Saron Church Women will resume collecting items for Lutheran World Relief (LWR), continuing our tradition of giving back to the global community.

Whether you are partnered or single, a young adult or an empty nester, a kid, senior, retired, employed, or underemployed, there’s a place for you at Saron. We invite you to join our community where your presence is celebrated, and your journey is supported.

All are welcome at Saron Lutheran Church—come as you are and experience the warmth and love of our faith community.
