St. John's Lutheran Parish School

Pastor Geyer and school children

The records do not indicate exactly when a parish school was begun at St. John's. Even during the time of the Osage Point Church, confirmation instruction was given when a pastor was available. After the brick church was built in 1889-1890, the former church was used as a school. Several members still remember going to school there in the early years of that building's use as a school.

Until 1943, the pastor was the teacher of the school. Since 1945, the congregation has paid the tuition for the children of the parish to attend Trinity School, Jefferson City.
