St. John's offers Christian education opportunities of all kinds and for all ages. Listed below are the various opportunities to expand your knowledge and growth in faith. No minimum education or experience is required.  For some, simply listening and observing without active participation is their level of interest and comfort. Others prefer a more active role in discussions and reading.  Whatever your learning method and comfort level, something below is sure to catch your interest. 


Everyone is welcome!
