St John's Lutheran Home for Children
Way back in 1864, St John's Lutheran Church decided to enbark on opening an Orphan Home to support children who lost their fathers who died in the Union Army. St. John's Home cared for thousands of children throughout its existance as a residential home, but in 1960, closed it's door to residential living quarters. Instead, after selling its homes and property, St John's focused the profits from its invested funds to continue to touch the lives of children in Western NY. To this day, St John's has been a major support financially to the Lake Chautauqua Lutheran Center and has been the driving force of financial background for the Lutheran Youth Organization's Director of Youth Programming position.
St. John's Lutheran Home for Children Board contines to meet monthly and welcomes representation from each ELCA congregation in WNY.
