Faith Formation

Because we are a small community, we understand the importance of family. And yours is just as important to us as our own. Because, in Christ, we are all part of the same family. We strive to meet your family’s needs in this fast-paced and ever-changing world. The only thing that will always remain the same is the Word of God, the promise of Jesus Christ for you. However, we understand that today’s world looks, feels, and happens differently than it did in the past. And because of this, we are constantly working to make St. John’s work for your family. We want this to be a place of faith formation and development for your entire family. A home for your faith to grow into the strong fortress that God intends it to be.

To partake in any of these Faith Formations, please contact the church office at (507)723-5397.
