Children's Ministry
Welcome to Kidz4Christ, the Children’s Ministry at St. John's reaching out to kids — infants through 4th grade. What makes us unique? We want to partner with families to bring children into relationship with Christ. We teach children not only to understand biblical truths, but how to live them out in their everyday lives. We promise to be Bible-based, child-centered, relational, relevant, creative, and of course…fun!
At St. John's we are committed to helping families raise growing followers for Jesus so we provide fun, Bible-based experiences for children! We offer Sunday School for all children nursery age through 4th grade during the 9:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. services. (Summer hours may vary) 9:30 a.m. Nursery age children (infants up to 3 years) learn about our world, and how God shaped it and us. PreK/K (4 & 5 years) - Join us to learn about Jesus through stories, fun and projects. Elementary 1st - 4th Graders are in a high energy children's church atmosphere. 11:00 a.m. Nursery & preschool children learn about our world and how God shaped it and us. Elementary children experience the Bible in fun, interactive ways each week! Wednesday Nights we offer fellowship, choir and Pioneer Club age-level groups for children from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. (Not available for summer, will resume in September.) Our programs are run by caring fun adults who help children meet a Loving God who loves them and wants to be part of their life...Forever!

![]() Our nursery is divided into two separate rooms with a common toddler bathroom in the middle — infants to one year old on one side and two to four-year old on the other. Our little ones play games and hear Bible stories in this nurturing environment. We use Gospel Light's Baby beginnings curriculum to teach children, and we take great pride in keeping our children safe, happy and teaching them about God’s love. The nursery is offered during the 9:30 a.m. & 11 a.m. Sunday Services as well as some special events.
Nursery Care Volunteers Needed We are in need of volunteers for our nursery. Currently we are looking for volunteers for our 11:00 a.m. service. If you are interested, please contact Lisa Beetham at 941-925-2661. |
