About Us
Rev. Joshua P. Dub was ordained and installed at St. John’s on May 14, 2023.
St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church is a member of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.
In 1861 the first Lutheran emigrants to Peru built the first St. John’s Lutheran Church on West Second Street. This small frame building housed worship services until 1875 when the present church building was erected on the corner of Main and Fremont. Nearly 150 years later, this Gothic building still remains a lively and devout place of worship.
