CHILDREN AND YOUTH
Our children and youth are a gift to St. John! Helping them discover their faith and grow in their relationship with God is a vital ministry. Check out some of the many ways we seek to support our children and youth.
Mars Area Youth Group
Youth Group is for youth in grades 6-12. Meetings are about twice a month on Sunday afternoons. Meetings include a variety of activities, including faith discussions, games, service activities, and more!
Youth Group is a Christian-based group, but children who do not regularly attend church will find a home here too.
Youth Group is hosted jointly by St. John and Mars United Presbyterian Church. Youth do not have to be a member of either hosting church to join.
Register your youth here. (Registered youth will be added to the mailing list)

Vacation Bible School
2025 VBS!
Finding Your Way in a World Gone Wild with True North.
Sun, July 13 - Thur, July 16th, 6:30-8:00p
This year at VBS, we will learn about how Jesus is our true north! Kids will foster a deeper connection with our faithful friend, Jesus, while discovering the great Alaskan frontier. As kids trek through the tundra of Alaska and experience what it means to trust in Jesus, prepare for amazing faith connections to unfold!
And best of all, it's free for everyone!
