Ministry & Programs
For better than 100 years, the congregation of St. John the Baptist
has been growing, training, shaping and sending out ministers into God’s
vineyard called North Sydney. They lived to serve and loved to serve our
God. Thankfully, today is no different! We are still God’s ministers and
we are still faithful.
We believe our church and our community need more, not less leaders
and lovers of God. We support leadership development in all people
and try to enable all to work as ministers of God’s goodness. Together
we provide resources and opportunities for us and the next generation
of good and faithful servants to rise up and thrive.
- Weekly Bible Study – Wednesday mornings (10am to 12pm)
- Education for Ministry (EFM)
EFM is a wonderfully comprehensive program of Theological Education
for lay people interested in growing in their knowledge of scripture,
tradition, history and liturgy. Participants use their own life experience
as a base from which to explore all these area of study. Classes are small
(usually 6 to 10 people), are led by trained mentors, and the group meets weekly.
