Come join the men's activities at St. John!

Three of the main activities are:

  • Men's Bible Study

Would you like an opportunity to learn more?  This is the group to join.  It's a casual meeting with a small group and a perfect place for men to discuss issues they face and how the bible can help guide us through.  We hope to see you there.

Beat the drums!  The St. John Band, is just that - a band!  A band of merry men that bring their musical talents together and try to incorporate them into song. Sometimes we are successful at this and sometimes, well not.  But either way we have a great time. :)

We showcase our talents at the annual Family night, where our trademark song has become Hee-Haw's "Where, oh where, are you tonight".
 

Lend Us Your Voice!  The Men's Choir performs special music throughout the year during our Worship Services. We are always looking for male voices to add to our group. 

If you have every had a dream of singing, or maybe you just want to give it a shot. We are game if you are.
