         God is still speaking...to and through our congregation!
There are ample opportunities for members and friends of St. John's to commune together in fellowship while supporting the many missions of this church. We believe that God has bestowed upon each of us unique talents and gifts and calls upon us to use them in His service to the best of our ability. Below is a listing of our Ministry Teams and a brief description of each.

Women's Fellowship
Originally called Der Fraunverein, our Women's Fellowship endures with a long history of steadfast stewardship both here at our local church and throughout the greater community. They gather together for a luncheon on the first Thursday of each month to share fellowship, plan their monthly workday, and the numerous activities which support their many mission projects.
Loyal Daughters
Conceived to meet the needs of women who work outside of the home and/or cannot attend the day time activities planned by Women's Fellowship, Loyal Daughters has evolved into a group which meets the needs of all women. Their monthly meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month, when they plan various activities and mission goals.
Youth Group
The Youth Group is headed up by a group of wonderful and energetic youth. It is designed to be a peer-to-peer group for youth in the 6th grade through the end of their high school years. Together we meet to explore our faith, address issues of concern which we encounter in our everyday lives, and explore the wonders of God's great creation and our evolving roll in it. We gather for monthly meetings after church service on these Sundays, where we plan a monthly activity, mission projects and various fund raising activities throughout the year.
Christian Ed
Our Christian Ed Team is responsible for organizing and delivering a wonderful array of Christian Education opportunities that are always fresh, always stimulating and ever enjoyable for folks of all ages.
Music Team
The choir, led by Ms. Roberta Wright, meets for practice each Wednesday from late August until May. Being able to read music is NOT a requirement to join the choir (nor is having "the voice of an angel" for that matter). We in the choir consider the sharing of our musical talents and gifts a part of our stewardship. It is our sincerest hope that the Lord will use our voices and the songs we choose as a means by which to add to our worship services and at times deliver a special message straight to your heart. We'd love to have you come join us!
Worship Team
Evangalism Team (AKA The E-Team)
Finance Team
The Finance Team presents an annual budget to the congregation for approval, and then does their best to see that we stick to it.
Building & Grounds
The Building & Grounds Team is dedicated to the general upkeep and maintenance of the church buildings and grounds. Ever diligent, they present items of concern and suggestions for improvements to the Administrative Team and the congregation.
Administrative Team
Comprised of one designated member from each of our various Ministry Teams and two Members at Large, the Administrative Team serves as the guiding body of our congregation.
