In Christ, there is neither male nor female, but in this world, each has distinct God-given gifts and duties. At St. John, we honor and cherish women and their God-given gifts and duties in the home and congregation. The best thing women can do in a congregation is to be an example by faithfully hearing and learning God’s Word in worship and Bible class, learning the faith in the home, and being godly women in word and deed. After that follows serving in the congregation to support Word and Sacrament ministry. Below are some of the opportunities for women to be godly women at St. John:

“She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.” (Proverbs 31:26 ESV).

For her

Just like any family, our ladies are at the heart of St. John. Whether it's sharing the secret yumminess of Pam's famous homemade chocolate cake or knitting shawls for those in need, our ladies are the best and can't wait to get to know you.

Family centered

We also offer other opportunities periodically for adults, youth and children, such as: conferences, retreats, book clubs, monthly Bible studies, adult/children's choir, community service projects, elected and appointed leadership, Sunday school, and Vacation Bible School. See our Newsletter for current information.
