St. John's Episcopal Church

Youth Sunday School
2026-02-15 10:15 - 11:00 (America/New_York) | 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.

Middle-School Sunday School
2026-02-15 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.

Children’s Sunday School
2026-02-15 10:15 - 11:00 | Sunday School Classrooms, FL
Children in PreK-5th grades are invited to join us from 10:15 – 11 AM for weekly Christian formation. This year, 4 classes (PK/K, 1st, 2nd/3rd grades, and 4th/5th grades) will meet weekly through April 27. Activities take place upstairs in the Sunday School wing.
Here’s what we’ll be learning!
PK/K: Godly Play– This nurturing approach honors the unique competencies and capacities of early childhood. Students’ innate spirituality will be engaged, and their growing use of religious language will be nourished as they make meaning from Biblical stories through a creative process of self-discovery.
1st: Festal Eucharist– Students will participate in a special curriculum created right here at St. John’s to prepare our first-grade children for worship in the Episcopal tradition. They will focus on Worship, Holy Baptism, Christian Giving and The Holy Eucharist culminating with the Festal Eucharist in May.
2nd/3rd & 4th/5th: StoryMakers- Upper elementary students will become StoryMakers and use their imaginations to enter God’s story. They will engage with Biblical stories through creative visual arts, interactive storytelling, field notes, fun facts, thoughts to ponder, and hands-on activities. They will experience stories of The Promised Land, Isaiah, Advent, Lent, and Easter.
We also provide a full staff on Sunday mornings in our nursery for children five years and younger. We would love to have your child join us on Sunday mornings! Any questions, please contact Tyree Jordan.
