Middle-School Sunday School
2026-04-19 10:15 - 11:00, 2026-04-26 10:15 - 11:00 | Sunday School Classrooms, FL
Middle-schoolers (6-8 grade) are invited to join us from 10:15 – 11 AM for weekly Christian formation in the Sunday School wing.
Middle school students will become StoryMakers to express their questions, discoveries, and creativity as they explore the deep theological truths and faith in God. They will walk through the Signs of Grace—baptism and Communion—which contain the tangible means they can hang on to when all seems lost, and the Lord’s Prayer, which assures us we have been given the title of heirs—adopted into God’s kingdom and claimed as his own.
Any questions, please contact Tyree Jordan.

Youth Sunday School
2026-04-19 10:15 - 11:00, 2026-04-26 10:15 - 11:00 | Youth Room (Downstairs)
High schoolers are invited to join us in the Youth Room, 10:15 – 11 AM on Sundays.
High school Sunday programing this year revolves around loving God with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength. Students will rotate through four themes each month with the Wellness Compass, the Prayer Book, Global Philanthropy Leaders (and other special topics), and a movement-based class. Students will also have the option to use the time for personal reflection or preparation on any or all Sundays.
We hope you join us for this Sacred Space on Sundays.
Any questions, please contact Tyree Jordan.

2026 Ecuador High School Mission Trip
2026-07-08 - 2026-07-18 | Off-site Location, Quito, Ecuador
St. John’s youth will return to Quito, Ecuador – Wednesday, July 8 to Saturday, July 18, 2026!*
NOTE: On Sunday, Oct. 12, at 11:30 AM, we’re going to hold an interest and informational meeting about the trip. We’ll go over the details, travel, and cost. You don’t want to miss out! Come along and hear all about it.
WHO: This trip is open to rising 9th through 12th graders.
WHAT: We will know more about our specific work areas as our time in Quito approaches, but typically it is a mix of children’s programs, improving the physical church building, a day or two of service in nearby homes of church parishioners, and worship with friends at the church. The itinerary is developed in partnership with Caroline and John Allen, and our ministry partners in Quito.
OVERALL COST: The expected overall cost for the trip is $2,200. However, our goal is to raise $800 per youth participant through group fundraising at church. This means, mission team members will be responsible for covering approximately $1,400. We encourage you to talk with your youth about how they can raise some of the remaining cost themselves (writing letters, working, or other fundraisers). Confidential scholarships are available and we are happy to work together to find an amount that is reasonable for your family. We can also help you develop an individual fundraising plan.
FUNDRAISERS: Our tentative list of fundraisers is available on the information form (see “resources” tab). Team members are expected to be involved each of these events which, in addition to raising funds, provide valuable opportunities for team building.
WHAT’S INCLUDED: Roughly half of the overall cost is airfare. Your participant fee includes travel insurance, all meals, lodging, private in-country transportation, cultural activities, and contributions to the ministries we will be partnering with in Quito.
NEXT STEPS: Submit your non-refundable deposit of $200 and a completed Youth Mission or Chaperone Information Form. Registration will be open until January 12, 2026 (or until our team is full).
*Please Note: dates could be adjusted one day on either end as flights are confirmed.*
