Grand Canyon Synod - ELCA

The Grand Canyon Synod is one of 65 synods in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). The ELCA is a church of more than 4 million members who actively participate in God’s work in the world.

St. John’s relationship with Vida Nueva goes back to its founding on the campus of the former Messiah Lutheran Church on 29th Ave and Camelback. For several years, we had joint confirmation classes for 7th and 8th graders. We began celebrating traditions together, including Las Posadas and the feast day of the Virgin of Guadalupe. After their properties were sold, Vida Nueva began worshipping in St. John’s chapel on July 7, 2019 under the leadership of Pastor Joaquin Garcia Guzman. Vida Nueva partners with St. John’s in the Shower Ministry, Vacation Bible School, property work days, and an annual Worship service and Picnic with Emmanuel.​
