Children & Youth

“Train children in the right way, and when old, they will not stray.” Proverbs 22:6

Results from a 2018 Harvard study found that children and teens raised with religious or spiritual practices have better physical and mental health, greater resilience and empathy, and greater life satisfaction and well-being. ​St. John’s offers programs for infants through high school seniors. Nurturing spirituality by belonging to a community that learns together, serves together, prays together, and has fun together helps develop young people into healthier, happier adults.

The mission of St. John's Children & Youth Ministry is to be an inclusive spiritual community
in which we uplift families and equip them to be change agents. 


You can find the current Children & Youth Ministry calendar HERE.

St. John’s Children & Youth Ministry Values
We embrace our Christian faith in the spirit of these values:
Creative: We hold space for youth and children’s ministry with innovative, expressive, and visionary ideas and action.
Justice-Seeking: We build awareness, act on issues of equity, and serve the planet and those in need. 
Open-Minded: We are welcoming, inclusive, curious, and accepting.
Compassionate: We challenge the status quo and show radical love to all.
Joyous: We support Christian spiritual growth through fun and humor.
