Little Lambs' Music is a St John’s preschool ministry. It takes place on a Monday morning from 10am until 11.30am in the St John’s Ministry Centre during school terms. Come join us for a 45 minute session where we will sing, move, dance, play instruments, hear stories and rhymes. The session time ends with a fruit time for the children and a morning tea for parents. All preschool children/babies and their parents/caregivers are welcome.

Youth Space encompasses high school age students from Years 7 to 12. Youth Space takes place weekly on Friday nights during school terms, from 7.00-9.00pm. The aim is to provide a safe environment for young people to grow and mature in their faith and under the guidance of young adult and adult youth leaders and to build relationships with their peers.

Youth Space is an integral part of the journey leading to the Rite of Confirmation, which takes place when a young person is in Year 9 or 10.

St John’s has a vibrant young adult community, gathering each week on Tuesday nights. This is a place for young Christian adults to talk about life, faith and community. Each week we gather for a shared meal together followed by a study or worship and finishing with a time of prayer.

Each year in September/October we hold a weekend retreat for the young adult community. This is a wonderful opportunity to grow together and individually in faith, grow together as a community and build deeper relationships with one another.

St John's has many ongoing small groups of women across all ages and stages meeting in the evenings, either fortnightly or monthly, at participants homes or at the St John's Ministry Centre for a time of growing in faith together and building connections and friendships.

All small groups are always open and looking to welcome in anyone who would like to join.
