At SJBC, you can expect to find community and growth in Adult Bible Fellowship (ABF). We have several adult Bible fellowship classes that meet on Sunday mornings at 9:15 a.m. Sunday mornings (Nursery services provided). Class lessons can range from topical studies, group studies in book format, video studies through RightNow Media, or studying books of the Bible, all designed to dig deeper into the Word of God.

On the 2nd Sunday of most months, our ABF classes combine and gather in our Multipurpose Room where we connect with various SJBC-supported missionaries. This is an opportunity for us to hear how God is working in their lives and ministries.

Below is a list of our classes, including their demographics and meeting locations. We would love for you to get plugged into an ABF at SJBC! For any questions about ABFs at SJBC, please don’t hesitate to contact our Associate Pastor of Discipleship & Worship, Jason Yost.

SJBC desires to reach men of all ages with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We offer special events, discipleship programs, and small group Bible studies that provide opportunities for spiritual growth and fellowship. Through these activities, we seek to encourage and equip men to become godly men and spiritual leaders in their homes, neighborhoods, and churches. As men embrace their spiritual gifts through these opportunities, they can honor God and serve more effectively to reach other men in their community.

The heart of SJBC Women’s Ministries is to transform women of all ages through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, promoting both inward growth and outward reach.  We offer authentic connections through small group Bible studies, service opportunities, and special events. Through the fellowship, accountability, and spiritual growth that women’s ministries provide, women are empowered to live out God’s purpose for their lives. Women are encouraged to use their God-given gifts to glorify God, and they are equipped to become godly women in their homes, churches, and to influence other women in their community.

Are you facing a trial? Are you at the point of not knowing what to do? Has your marriage hit a dry patch? Then, you are not alone. We all go through difficult times in life that make us feel hurt, confused, stuck, or battling. We may not be able to alter the path, but we can make sure no one walks it alone. The heart of Connected is to walk alongside you in the midst of your struggle and help you find hope and healing, no matter the challenges you are facing.

St John Bible Church offers various ministries that provide encouragement, biblical guidance, accountability, marriage mentoring, prayer, and hope. We desire to connect people to the life-transforming power of Jesus Christ, other believers, and the life of the church.

If you attend SJBC and find yourself in a difficult life circumstance, your first step is to complete an initial questionnaire located on our Connected Care Ministry Page. The questionnaire will be assessed by our Lead Pastor and is designed to evaluate your current needs and pair you with an appropriate Caregiver.

For any additional questions, contact the church office at 419-384-3680.
