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 N. 43rd and Fremont.
