There are groups and events at St John’s for all ages of
children right from birth up to school year 13. All the groups
are part of the church’s aim to provide a safe place for
young people to grow in their faith in and relationship with Jesus
Christ. For some this will be finding out for the first time who
Jesus is while for others it will be by growing stronger in their
faith.
