The youth of St. John are important members of our community. They assist in our worship through singing, playing instruments, and serving as acolytes. In addition, middle school and high school groups meet on Sunday morning for Bible Study and at various times each month for fun, service to the church and community, and Bible discussion.

Impact Meetings

The Youth also meet several Sunday Evenings each month, for fellowship, fun, and devotions.  Other actvities are also planned.  Any 6th grader to high school senior is invited to join the Youth Group. 

Acolyte Ministry

The Acolyte Ministry is comprised of St. John's baptized youth--between the ages of 11 and 18. Acolytes take active roles in the church as worship leaders by lighting candles, assisting with offering, and leading processions during festival services. All of them have undergone training and are a valued asset to our congregation.

Other Service

In addition to activities specifically geared towards youth, we encourage youth to participate in other ministries in the congregation.  Currently or in the past, youth have served as sextons, choirs and praise teams, musicians for worship services, readers, ushers, greeters, cooks, volunteer days, Sunday School teachers and assistants, and in many other ways.
