2018 FAITH FORMATION

Brene' Brown writes: "Faith is a place of mystery, where we find the courage to believe in what we cannot see and the strength to let go of our fear of uncertainty.

Faith formation consists of opportunities to explore one's relationship with God, both the most certain aspects and the most mysterious facets. Here at St. John's, we invite all to faith formation through shared Bible study, prayerful invitations, small group conversation, engagement of various media, and age-appropriate experiences for all of God's children.
