Children's Ministry

Amazing.  Awesome. Miracle. Delight.

Haven't you found that these common words take on new meaning and depth when you use them to describe your child? The heart of children's ministry at St. John is to teach kids about who God is and how these words apply to both GOD and THEM!  Through engaging teaching, supportive environments, and close knit small group classes, we guide kids towards a better understanding of what it means to have a real relationship with God. We want kids to know that the Bible is full of interesting stories that matter in their lives today, that fun and games are definitely allowed at church, that worship can be full of loud music and silly dancing, and that there are adults in the church who truly want to love and lead them closer to Jesus. In other words, we want them to know that where God is, life is a lot more amazing!

  • Vacation Bible School

    When: Monday - Friday, July 13-17 from 8:30 am - 11:30 am
    Friday, July 17th a program is planned from 11:15 am-11:45 am


    Step through the mist into Rainforest Falls, overflowing with wild waterfalls, towering trees, and colorful creatures. Beneath a canopy of chattering birds and howling monkeys, kids plunge into a lifelong adventure of discovering the nature of God. They’ll explore what it means to be rooted in relationship with God, their creator, a safe place in life’s storms. Team-building games, unforgettable Bible songs, and tasty treats are just a few of the standout activities that help faith flow into real life. (Since everything is hands-on, kids might get a little messy. Be sure to send them in play clothes and sturdy shoes.)

  • Sunday school

    All children (PreK-6th Grade) meet in their Sunday School classrooms from 9-10am.  CLICK HERE TO REGISTER!


    The focus of Sunday School for our Pre-K/K and 1st/2nd graders is on the classic Bible stories which help to build a strong foundation for lifelong learning!  The focus for the older grades will follow the weekly Gospel reading to reinforce what is heard during worship!

  • Babies and Toddlers

    Children are always welcome at worship, but if your child needs space and time to play, or parents need a break, our nursery is available on Sunday mornings for parents to use with their little ones. The nursery is located next to the Faith & Life Center for quick and easy access by parents.
