Children's Ministry

 St. John's Children's Ministry Vision Statement

 
St. John’s Children’s Ministry exists to help our children know and love God through liturgical worship, play, and service. Our prayer is that as our children become confident in God’s love, their new life in Christ, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit they will grow into individuals filled with deep love for God, others, and creation.
 
Children comprise a significant portion of our congregation and hold a valuable place in our worship and life.  As soon as children are developmentally ready, we want them to participate with us in the sacraments of the church.  Our size allows us to get to know each other's children and grow together--learning from one another as we go.
 
 
  St. John's takes seriously the care and protection of the children among us. To read the Child Abuse and Sexual Misconduct Policy in its entirety, please click here.
