As we partner with the Holy Spirit to “build us up in the knowledge and love of God,” St. John’s Faith Formation programming encourages and nourishes the spiritual development of all people, where ever we are in our faith journey. Faith Formation is integral to St. John’s development of meaningful and inspiring ministries, intertwined with the work of invite-welcome-connect, worship, service work, and community life. Utilizing academic, spiritual, and theological talents within our congregation and partnerships in the wider community, St. John’s Faith Formation Commission provides program offerings that equip our community with knowledge and spiritual resources to grow in our faith journey. Join us in engaging conversations that empower each of us to courageously and compassionately meet life’s challenges and opportunities in today’s world.
Sunday Faith Forums take place almost every Sunday morning from 9:00-9:50 a.m. from September through May, with the option to join on Zoom or in the Fireside Room.
We also offer seasonal Faith Formation Programming on weeknights. These series have included seasonal book studies, Bible studies, hymn sing and studies, and discussing ways films, art, and music engage theology.
Forward Movement and the Episcopal Church Foundation offer daily lectionary based readings and reflections, including faithful parenting. Click here to view the latest Faith-at-Home Readings.
We have copies of the Forward Movement booklets available in our Little Free Library at our 60 Kent Street entrance.
Sacred Art Bible Study
Second and Fourth Thursdays at 10am
We study Scripture by contemplating sacred art together. All are welcome to join anytime. Contact Holly Stoerker for details.
Deep Dive Bible Study
(Currently on break)
Come and sink your mind and heart into a book of the Bible. We will take a slow pace through the book—reading, reflecting, sharing, questioning, and digging in. No weekly preparation or previous Bible study required! Open to St. John’s members and community friends regardless of affiliation. Email Dr. Judy Stack for more details.
Bible Discovery Class
Offered seasonally
Whether you feel like you don’t know much about the Bible or have loved to study it for many years, this study has something for you! We will cover the whole Bible, Genesis to Revelation, in 8 sessions through a mix of big-picture overview and interactively digging into short passages. Meets in the Fireside Room. Lunch-time snacks provided. Led by Dr Judy Stack.
A list of the weekly topics and suggested readings is found here.
Interested in membership or a deeper involvement in the life of Saint John’s? The Wayfinders Series offers a space to explore the beliefs and practices distinctive to the Episcopal Church’s Anglican tradition–how we worship, serve, and love–and what that all means for our life at Saint John’s.
These classes are especially geared toward folks exploring whether St John’s is the right place for them to build spiritual roots, and is strongly recommended for anyone preparing for the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, or Matrimony. But it is also a great way for longtime parishioners to refresh their understanding of our tradition and connect with others and our church’s programs and ministries.
The series is offered twice a year (fall and spring) and consists of two sessions, each covering different topics. Our Spring 2026 Wayfinders will be Sunday, April 26 from 11:30 to 4:00 and Saturday, May 2 from 9:30 to 1:00. A detailed schedule of topics and information can be accessed here.
We have a number of groups of 7-10 members who meet monthly or seasonally for spiritual support and a shared life of faith. Our Saint John’s Small Groups are a place to go deeper into relationship with each other and with God.
Please contact the Rev. Jered Weber-Johnson for more information on joining a small group!
