At St. John’s, we make a promise at baptism to help our youth
grow into and with their faith. But as others have learned before
us, most confirmation classes boil down to a classroom
experience: a teacher and a bunch of young people who aren’t
terribly interested in sitting up straight and listening to a
lecture.
High School Ministry is a transitional ministry, reflecting the
fact that teens are learning to negotiate the adult world and St.
John’s strives to be a resource of knowledge, faith, and strength
in their lives. We are here to help them connect with God.
On Sunday mornings at 10:15 am we meet for our on-going service
project: running Cafe Rwanda. The proceeds of our mission help to
fund the construction of a hospital in Rwanda. Join us for this
fantastic service work!
For a half century, young people have served in worship through
the Order of St. John. They have been acolytes, crucifers,
torchbearers, and banner bearers, providing life and energy and
promise to our worship experience.
Adult mentors and high school leaders, as well as an in-depth
training program, provide the support, structure and instructions
that allow our youth to serve confidently and graciously. If you
are Junior High or High School age, this is one place for you to
actively participate as a leader in worship.
The Refuge is an “All Ages Music Venue” that is run by youth and
adult volunteers from St. John’s. The Refuge strives to be a safe
place for youth to listen to and play live music.

you are interested in playing at the Refuge, visit our MySpace page.
