Attending St. John’s

St. John’s has a regular worship service on Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m. All are welcome to fully participate in worship in-person or online. Communion is served to all.

During the service, children are invited to come up to the front of the church for a children’s message and are then escorted to age-appropriate Worship Centers while the adults complete the worship service. Children must be signed in and out of worship centers by their accompanying adult.

To learn more about our worship services and children’s worship, please see the Worship section.
