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. 3 yrs and PreK - Join us to learn about Jesus through stories, fun and projects. 
K - 5th Graders are in a high energy children's church atmosphere.  Elementary children experience the Bible in fun, interactive ways each week!

Wednesday Nights we offer fellowship, choir and KidzClub! age-level groups for children from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. (Not available for summer.)


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!

Nursery — Infants & Toddlers

Picture
Our nursery is divided into two separate rooms with a common toddler bathroom in the middle — infants to 24 months on one side and three to four-year olds on the other. Our little ones play games and hear Bible stories in this nurturing environment.  We take great pride in keeping our children safe, happy and teaching them about God’s love. The nursery is offered during the 9:00 a.m. Sunday Service as well as some special events.

Nursery Care Volunteers Needed
We are in need of volunteers for our nursery and prek rooms.  Please contact the office if you would like to serve on a rotating schedule.
