NEXT is Now!
Lives are being changed because of your continued financial support of this church. When you give back to God in this place you are support-ing our NEXT initiative and everything we are doing as a church over the next 2 years.
Here are some examples of how God is moving at St. John through NEXT:
Just last week nearly 5,000 people of all ages were able to encounter God through culturally relevant and inspiring Holy Week and Easter worship services and experiences.
On May 6, over fifty students will affirm their faith in Christ, and their desire to grow in their personal relationship with Him through Confir-mation.
Already this year there have been twenty-one people baptized here at St. John. That is twenty-one children, teenagers, and adults whose lives have been changed forever through Baptism!
What is LIFEjourney?Life is a journey.God is with us and loves us through the journey.The LIFEjourney is moving through LIFE together, discovering God and His plans for us.
What does LIFEjourney mean at St. John?Give ONE DAY a week to God in worship & restBe someONE to another person in an intentional relationship.Spend FIFTEEN MINUTES each day in a faith-building discipline.Live the SIX other DAYS serving God by serving others.
