We believe at St. John's, that it is our duty and privilege to help youth to define their faith, speak their faith to others, act out their faith through service and leadership, and grow in their understanding of their faith.

At St. John’s we offer a 2-year confirmation program for all 7th - 8th grade students. The program is designed to help students grow in faith & discipleship. Students meet weekly with Pastor Linda, Amanda, and their small group leaders from 5:15 - 6:30 p.m. in the Parish Life Center

Confirmation classes on break for the Summer!
Classes will resume in the Fall.

 
 
 

All 9th - 12th graders of St. John’s and their friends are invited and encouraged to attend youth group. During our time together we will be sharing, encouraging, playing games, eating snacks, and enjoying a Bible study together.

150th Anniversary
Cookbook


Our Youtherans are selling an amazing cookbook packed with almost 400 recipes from appetizers to desserts. With each purchase you are not only helping raise funds for the youth group, but you are sharing generations of tried and true recipes from the disciples at St. John’s. You can buy the cookbooks through the church office or directly through Amanda Lawler. We can take payments through Realm by clicking purchase and adding cookbook to the memo line, cash, or check. Thank you so much for supporting our Youtherans!
