Christian Formation
Christian Formation here at St. John's Cathedral seeks to enrich the lives of God's people. We offer programs for all ages, beginning in our nursery with Bible stories and arts & crafts. Youth in pre-K through 6th grade experience Godly Play which is an imaginative approach to working with children that supports, challenges, nourishes and guides their spiritual quest. In Godly Play the children enter into parables, silence, sacred stories and liturgy in order to discover God, ourselves, one another and the world around us.
Our teen program follows Journey to Adulthood, a six-year program of spiritual formation for young people that provides a liturgical framework for their experience in our modern culture, celebrates their individuality and potential and instructs them on skills needed for successful adult participation in society. It is based on two key concepts: manhood and womanhood are gifts from God and adulthood must be earned.
Adult offerings are many and varied covering Bible study, spiritual growth, book studies and contemporary issues. Our offerings change throughout the year and are offered not only on Sunday, but throughout the week.
