What you should know about Saint John's

A strong outreach mission is a critical area of service for us. St. John’s aim is to reach out to the community, the nation, and the world. We do this by budgeting a tithe of our income to support those in need and by contributing our time in volunteer service and missionary opportunities.

The Word and Sacrament, our Foundation

Christians have always based their belief on the Word and the Sacrament, believing that the two are meant to be complementary. We hold to the tradition that Scripture is the revealed Word of God, and through preaching and teaching, we will come to understand that Word and put the Word into action.

Complementing the Word are the Church’s sacraments. Two of them were commanded by Christ Himself—Baptism and the Eucharist. Baptism is initiation into the Body of Christ, the Church, and the Eucharist (the Lord’s Supper) sustains us in that union with Christ.

At St. John’s, we celebrate the Eucharist each Sunday morning at 8:00 and 10:30. In general, the 8:00 service is more traditional while the 10:30 service utilizes a more contemporary style of worship.

Christian Education

Youth and Children

Learning how to have a personal relationship with God is fundamental at St. John’s. Christian education is directed towards helping young people grow in their relationship with Christ.

At St. John’s, we have a youth ministry and Sunday School. Our youth ministry’s goal is to initiate Christian awareness among the young people of St. John’s. This awareness starts at the nursery level and continues through high school.

Our Sunday School classes coincide with the public school year, beginning in September and ending in May. We have supervised nursery care during for children five years and younger.
