Nursery:  Very young children are welcome to join our Early Childhood Education-certified nursery staff member Cherry on Sundays during the 10:00 services.  St John's Nursery is a clean and secure environment that encourages play.  There are toys and the children are able to listen to and sing Sunday school songs.  There is a change table in the nursery for those who require it.

Sunday School:  During the academic year, St John's offers Sunday School during the 10:00 services to children who are of school age.  The curriculum is based on the Revised Common Lectionary, which matches the readings that are read and interpreted in the worship service.  Most Sundays, the children will hear the story, discuss it, learn and sing songs, and do a craft.  In the 10:00 Nave service, the children remain with their family until after the Collect of the Day, when the presider will call them to the front for a brief talk then send them to Sunday School.  They return to their families to receive Holy Communion.

Youth Group:  St John's youth group meets most Sundays after the 10:00 services in the Library.  Lunch is provided and there is a time for discussion, some games, and from time to time an outing (e.g. a movie or hike).

The St. John's Tutoring programme is an outreach providing literacy opportunities for those attending One Roof Community Centre. Our mission is to provide this basic education to those in need so they can feel better about themselves and hope to take steps toward overcoming their poverty, conducting their daily affairs with confidence. We are always looking for new tutors and students. Tutor applications can be found here. Student applications can be found here. For more information, please contact the church office.

Programs of Bible Study and spiritual growth are ongoing in the parish throughout the year. Whether it is an intimate small study group or larger learning events, St. John’s has groups for all adults.
