History
St. John United Lutheran is a consolidation of 3 different congregations in the Phinney/Fremont area of Seattle:
- St. John’s Lutheran was founded as a Danish American congregation at 26th and Spruce until moving to a new building at 55th and Phinney in 1955.
- In 1967, the Swede-Finns of Emmaus Lutheran at NW 65th and 1st Ave. NW joined with the members of St. John’s, dropping the “s” to become St. John Lutheran.
- In 2001, St. John United was formed when St. John merged with St. Paul’s Lutheran which had been located at North 43rd and Fremont.
