We are proud to be able to say that Christian Education receives a high priority at St. John s. Programs are well-funded by the Vestry, and we enjoy the participation of many volunteers throughout the year as Sunday School teachers, Vacation Bible School leaders, special event and celebration coordinators, and EYC sponsors. Adult parishioners serve as teachers for youth classes, and both clergy and laity teach the adult classes. Adults usually choose from different class offerings each fall and spring.
Topics vary and classes range from a lecture format to small group discussions.
Classes are taught by Fr. Binder and other members of the congregation on the main floor of the Parish Hall and in the Parish Hall Library. St. John s has a Jr. EYC for students in the sixth through eighth grade, and a Sr. EYC for those in ninth through twelfth grade. First Communion Classes for children six years of age and older are taught one Saturday morning each Fall and Spring so that children may have a deeper understanding of and reverence for the Sacrament of Holy Communion. Children within either the school or the church are welcome to attend.
