Children’s Ministry (Joshua’s Generation)
Our children’s ministry is the launching pad for our younger generations. Providing care, love, and foundational tools of faith for ages 3 - 11. During our Sunday service at 9a Children’s church is full of fun activities, meaningful lessons, and the best snacks. We firmly believe in scripture and take on the challenge of training a child in the way that they should go so that when they get old they will not depart. Teaching our children on their level is the most impactful thing we can do to help their parents guide them in God’s light. The African proverb is true “It takes a village to raise a child.” St. John’s Downtown is the village.
Youth Ministry
SJD youth group, accommodates our middle and high school students. Focusing on how to apply God’s word to everyday life challenges we meet with our youth every 2nd & 4th Sunday during the 9am Worship service. Building relationships with one another and with God through Jesus Christ is the main goal. Doing that in practical ways such as engaging conversations, team building activities, and summer retreats our students are engaged in the life of one another and the church.
