WORSHIP MINISTRY
Hello and thank you for visiting our website – a tool for us to go beyond our church walls and introduce people to Jesus. Take a look at the many opportunities each of us have to grow as disciples together and consider getting involved in a ministry.
Please come join us this Sunday. We worship at 8:30 and 11:00 am, with Sunday School for all ages at 9:45 am. We would love to see you and share in your journey. God Bless you!
Music & Drama Worship Ministry
Music Ministry of St. John offers a rich variety of musical experiences, from traditional hymns, to contemporary choruses, to praise and worship, to anticipated seasonal presentations. Your musical preferences can be utilized at St. John! If you are interested in using your talents for God’s Glory, please contact the church office at 304.757.6343.
God-honoring worship is something we strive for. Many church members get involved in our music and drama ministry. Some play their instruments. Some are vocalists. Others are involved in the choir. Still others get involved in drama. These volunteers are an important part of the ministry of our church, using their talents and gifts to glorify God.

Prayer for St. John
A group of people meet each Sunday morning at 7:45 to pray for the Pastor, leaders and the worship services. Prayer cannot be overestimated. Prayer moves the hand of God. Our Church is a body of believers dependent upon prayer, and committed to God’s sovereignty. Each Sunday, before the morning service, a team of volunteers is praying for the ministry of the Word. Throughout the week, volunteers from our Prayer Warriors team pray for their pastor, a list of church members, any special requests, and missionary prayer needs. Each Wednesday, the church comes together for a Bible study as they seek God in prayer.
