Highlights for newcomers

COME &

SEE

Come and See is the first stop for those interested in exploring the Christian faith. Guests will come for a meal and then we will share a dynamic discussion around some of the biggest questions of life. Over three sessions we will discuss our culture’s common answers to questions of purpose, truth, identity and hope and then compare them with what Jesus says. These sessions are a warm, safe, open setting intended for anyone of any faith background.

Introducing

ST. JOHN’S

Introducing St. John’s (formerly “Newcomer Sessions”) is a three-week orientation that will briefly introduce you to our church’s history, vision, staff, and some next steps for getting connected. This course is a great opportunity for meeting others and finding opportunities for community, growth, and service. This course runs several times a year, after both our morning and evening services.

Anglicanism

St. John’s is just one congregation within a global Church that has existed for 2,000 years. Introducing Anglicanism is a four-week course that presents who we are, what we believe, and how we grow in Christ. This is a helpful way to better understand our Sunday services and our connection to the wider church, and provides a good opportunity to ask questions.

Catechism is how we ground our church members in the basics of knowing and living their faith. It is an essential part of discipleship and a kind of “basic training” for a life of growth and bearing fruit as a Christian. All new members are encouraged to begin their journey of formation with a year of Catechism. This program runs continuously from September to June, and can be joined at any time. It is the ideal preparation for baptism and confirmation, as well as equipping you for potential service and leadership roles in our congregation.
