Education
Christian Education Goals
The Word of God is not obvious. It must be learned. The education ministry of the congregation is an attempt to help Christians focus on the relationship between the gospel and all aspects of life. Because life differs for age to age, it is important that our learning be a life long process. Our programs should reflect this.

 

  1. Continue Sunday School Programs

  2. More intentional recruitment of education Leaders, especially for elementary Sunday School. Increase offerings for adult education

  3. Look into the possibility of a special evening for weekly education events for all ages

  4. Continue VBS

 
Vacation Bible School

This summertime ministry to elementary children offers a week of fun, theme-based instruction in the Christian faith. Our entire congregation benefits from the enrichment of our children as they are steeped in the words of our Lord, Creator. A sense of community developed which instilled an atmosphere of welcome to St. John's Church for all.  This included children from St. John's Christian Pre-school and the surrounding neighborhood.
