Growing in Faith

We believe that faith is a gift from God.  "I believe that by my own understanding or strength I cannot believe in Jesus Christ my Lord or come to him, but instead the Holy Spirit has called me through the gospel, enlightened me with his gifts, made me holy, and kept me in the true faith, just as he calls, gathers, enlightens, and makes holy the whole Christian church on earth and keeps it with Jesus Christ in the one common, true faith."  - Martin Luther 

Faith is a gift and we: Grow In FaithTogether 

Holy Baptism

Baptism is water used in accordance to God's command and connected with God's word. 

We believe in "one baptism for the forgiveness of sins."  This is open to people of all ages--infants AND adults!


Confirmation

Our Confirmation Ministry is a process of faith formation for baptized youth and adults as a sign of their participation in the life of the church.  

Holy Communion

Holy Communion is "...the true body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ under the bread and wine, instituted by Christ himself for us Christians to eat and to drink." 



Christian Education 

The purpose of our Christian education ministry at St. John's is to promote Christian education for life-long learning. The Christian Education Board provides resources, training, and guidance.
