Senior high
The senior high youth community is active at St. John's with weekly ministries, regular activities in service and life-changing mission trips, and leadership opportunities. Our mission is to form small Christian communities of senior high youth and caring adults who will be known, cared for, held accountable, and connected in Christian fellowship as they grow closer to God in faith through word, prayer, and service.

Ignite Small Groups
Meeting times and locations vary by each small group
Small groups are an opportunity for youth and adults to grow in faith through prayer, service, scripture, and powerful friendships. Each small group is made up of eight to 10 senior high youth and two adult shepherds. Groups can be mixed ages and genders or the same. Each youth can request two or three people to be in a group with and choose a day and time that works best with their schedule.
Registration is required for Ignite in order to form small groups. There is no cost to be part of this ministry. If you are registering in the middle of the school year, please contact Amy.

Stepping Stones
Stepping Stones is a Family Ministries program that recognizes critical faith development stages in a child’s life. It provides faith-based child and parent education from baptism to graduation through a series of stepping stones. At these critical stages we, as the body of Christ, come alongside parents to offer teaching, support, and encouragement.
