A Call for Acolytes
Do you want to help bring in the light of Christ during worship? Children Pre-K through 6th grade are invited to acolyte. Parents, if your child would like to learn to be an acolyte and has not been trained, email the St. John office.
Returning September 2025
We strive to be a welcoming and loving place that values all children. We intend to help plant, water, and nurture seeds of faith in children who grow to be Disciples of Christ, guiding those around them to the unity and light of the Lord.

SAFE CHURCH POLICY
We believe that children of all ages are best able to grow in faith and healthy relationships only when they feel safe, and it is with that in mind that we abide by our Safe Church Policy for all children and youth activities. It is a policy we follow in making congregations safe places where children, youth and elders may experience the abiding love of God and fellowship within the community of faith. All leaders are background checked, there are windows in every room and door and children/youth/leaders are always in groups of three or more. Read our Safe Church Policy here. Questions? Contact Pastor Autumn Krueger, who is our Safe Church Policy coordinator.
Boy Scouts & Girl Scouts
We partner with Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and are proud of the scouting program which extends St. John’s outreach to children into the larger community. Please call the office for current contact information. You can Click HERE for more info on St. John Scout Programs.
