Connections
At St. John's United Methodist Church, we believe that faith grows best in community, which is why our Connections Ministry offers many opportunities to build meaningful relationships. Whether through women’s ministry groups like United Women in Faith and S.O.N.G. (Sisters of a New Generation) or United Methodist Men, there’s a place for everyone to connect and grow together. We also host Game Nights and fun outings throughout the year, providing chances to relax, laugh, and form deeper friendships.

Intergenerational Events
Our church offers a variety of intergenerational events designed to bring all ages together for fun, learning, and fellowship. We have regular game nights, river tubing, and other trips.

S.O.N.G.-Sisters of the Next Generation
S.O.N.G., welcoming young women to those up to age 60, meets monthly for a time of connection and growth. Whether we’re hanging out, diving into devotionals, or working on a mission project, it’s a supportive space for women to build relationships and strengthen their faith together.

Exercise with Avis
Our exercise group meets three times a week, providing a fun and supportive environment for our elderly population to stay active and healthy. Through gentle workouts tailored to their needs, we help improve strength, mobility, and overall well-being while fostering a sense of community and encouragement.

Lunch Buddies
Lunch Buddies is a social group that meets once a month to enjoy a meal together in a relaxed and friendly setting. The group provides an opportunity for people to connect, share conversations, and build relationships over lunch. While meeting at a local restaurant, Lunch Buddies is a great way to stay connected, meet new friends, and take a break from the busyness of life while enjoying good food and fellowship.

Book Club
Our book club is a vibrant community of readers who gather regularly to explore diverse literary works and share our perspectives. Through engaging discussions, we delve into various genres, broadening our understanding and appreciation of literature. Beyond reading, our meetings foster meaningful connections among members, creating a supportive environment where friendships flourish. Our club not only enhances our literary knowledge but also enriches our social lives, making each gathering a cherished experience.

Scouting at St. John's
Our scouting ministry is thriving, providing young people with opportunities for growth, leadership, and service. Cub Scout Pack 130 meets on Wednesdays, offering younger scouts a fun and engaging environment to learn valuable skills, build character, and develop a strong foundation of teamwork. Scouts BSA Troop 130 gathers on Tuesdays, guiding older scouts through leadership development, outdoor adventures, and community service projects. Through these programs, we instill values of responsibility, resilience, and faith, shaping the next generation of leaders while strengthening our church and community.
