Spiritual Growth

Explore opportunities to nurture and grow your faith.

Growing in faith is a lifelong journey — and it's one we walk together as a congregation.

At every stage of life, God calls us to draw closer to Him through His Word, worship, and service. Spiritual growth not only deepens our personal relationship with Christ, but also strengthens our ability to share His love in our homes, church, and community.

Whether you're just beginning or continuing in your walk of faith, there’s a place for you at St. John's Lutheran Church to grow in God's Word and live out His calling in your life.

All activities meet in the fellowship hall unless noted.
