Groups & Classes

Grow in faith, find meaningful friendships, and discover your place in our community.

Why Groups Matter

Life with Christ is meant to be shared. At St. John’s, groups and classes help people of all ages ask honest questions, study Scripture, serve one another, and walk together through every season of life. Whether you’re new to faith or have been part of St. John’s for decades, there’s a group here that feels like home.

From Sunday School classes for every age, to weekday adult groups that foster friendship and spiritual growth, to the dedicated service of Women of the ELCA and the fellowship of Lutheran Men, there are countless ways to connect. Each group offers its own rhythm, emphasis, and community, inviting you to explore where your gifts, questions, and relationships can take root.
