Godly Play is a Montessori-inspired spiritual formation program that passes on the Christian faith through story, parable, ritual and silence.

Here at St. John, young people ages 3-6 are invited into the sacred space where they can simply be with God and with others as the scripture stories of God give meaning to their own lives.

Children are dismissed to Godly Play immediately following Communion at the 10am service.

A typical session includes gathering, sharing a feast (snack), hearing sacred stories, wondering together about them in community, and responding through art materials, play or meditation.

Godly Play was designed to provide ample space for young people to explore the stories of God and their own spiritual lives.

Pathfinders is a traditional lesson based program that encourages questions, critical thinking, and practical application of faith in daily life. Our curriculum is called, Living Discipleship, produced by the Episcopal Church, and our topic this season is will be “Exploring the Bible.”

Classes take place twice a month. Our 2026 fall schedule is 9/27, 10/4, 10/18, 11/1, 11/15, 12/6, and 12/20.
