Faith Formation at St. John’s
The concept of “faith formation” offers a holistic view of spiritual growth, including practices and opportunities such as learning, contemplation, praying, worshiping, celebrating, and serving that are the lifelong process of growing in our relationship with God, self, others, and all of creation. Faith formation ministries offer a variety of initiatives for education, spiritual growth, and community building.
Sunday Forum meets each Sunday during the program year at 9:00 a.m. in the Parish Hall. Topics have included emerging spiritual leaders; prophets ancient and new; forms of prayer; explorations of the sacred in music, Christian ethics and social justice, art, storytelling, and other religions; and Bible Study.

GIFT Women’s Group
A monthly meeting of women-identifying individuals whose lived experience of violence, abuse, trauma, or unexpected life-altering circumstances informs their ongoing spiritual growth and transformation. Members offer each other support, understanding and grace, using their shared history as a unique lens through which a life of peace can be achieved. Members collaboratively identify meeting topics and special activities for group discussion and reflection.
