nextsteps for Families
 
So what about families at St. John's?
 We're really glad you asked.
 We believe the most vital partnership in all the world, outside the marriage union of man and wife, is the relationship between church and home.
 It's our prayer that St. John's would be a community that feels like home for children, students and adults. It's our desire to partner with today's families to nurture our kids in Christ Jesus.
 We offer developmentally-specific, Christ-centered Christian Education from infancy to adulthood.  We are committed to Biblical foundations for our children, rooted in the gospel of Christ. 
 We are also convinced that partnership  with parents is vital.  Adult formation and discipleship is essential. 
 We also routinely host conferences and training opportunities to equip and resource families.
 At the heart of our vision for discipleship is LifeGroup.  LifeGroups are small community groups that meet all over Wilmington for the purpose of Bible study, prayer, fellowship and encouragement.  Learn more about LifeGroups here.
 We know that the demands and stress on today's families is very real.  We want to make your participation possible.  You can count on our nursery and childcare environments being available at most events at St. John's.  We also value our children's presence - they are never a bother and are always welcome!
 If you would like to speak with a staff member about children & family ministries, please contact our Christian Education Director, here.
 We look forward to partnering with you and your family in raising up the next generation of children and students who love Christ and follow him by faith!
