Nursery

  • Having trouble hearing the message?  Children are always welcome in worship, but if you need a break, we offer our nursery space “for your little’s wiggles” (ages 0-5) during 8:30 a.m. Sunday worship, starting after the Children’s Sermon and going until the Sharing of the Peace.

Busy Bags 

  • Busy Bags are designed to help parents of young children by providing quiet activities during worship that correlate with the seasons. Items in the bags may include a soft animal, a book, a toy car, a lacing activity or Magna doodle, coloring pages, blank papers, a crayon pouch, or a tracing template.

Beautiful Beginnings

  • Beautiful Beginnings is a ministry designed to help parents of young children build a foundation for their child’s faith beginning at birth through age 3.  It provides support, tools for developing their child’s faith, and fellowship with other parents and children.

Parent Care Group

  • Parents of youth (of all ages) are encouraged to attend this small group where the constant struggles and concerns of parenting are shared, wisdom, support, and assurance is given, spirituality is fed and strengthened, and new church connections are formed.  Find your sanity in community, find your peace in prayer, together we remember that we don’t have to do this alone!

MOMCO

  • At MOMCO (short for Mom Community, previously MOPS), moms from within and outside our congregation gather to strengthen each other through learning, fellowship, creative activities, and service while their children are cared for by nurturing adults. At St. John MOMCO, you will find a fun-filled morning of food, connection, guest speakers, mentor moms and creative activities.  Children from birth to kindergarten are cared for in a safe, loving setting.
