Christian
Education and Programs
(Please
call the Rector/Minister for more details)
The Church of John the Baptist has a very active and
involved congregation. In addition to the weekly worship services, there
are other Christian Education programs and various activities offered to
adults, youth and children. We have a thriving Church School (that meets
during part of the worship service), youth activities, and adult study
groups. Below is a brief list of some of these opportunities.
Nursery
|
 |
During the Saturday evening Worship Service a nursery is
provided that is led by a trained pre-school teacher.

Church School (Meets during part of the Saturday
evening Worship Service)
|
All young children and youth (K-12th grade)
are encouraged to become a part of this learning experience.
A variety of teaching material is used, from Augsburg
Fortress publications to those put together by the teachers
themselves.

Youth

There are various Middle School and High School youth
activities (see the Youth page) throughout the
year under the leadership of our Youth & Education Director, Erik
Brucker (see the Who's Who page). Please

*Spiritual Pilgrimages/Educational Tours— From time to time,
various pilgrimages/trips are organized with the goal of spiritually
benefiting from the rich Christian history of the Church in Egypt—from
the early Egyptian Church Fathers (Clement, Origin, Saint Athanasius,
etc.), to the desert monastic tradition of the Coptic Orthodox Church
(Saint Anthony, Saint Catherine, etc.), to the development of the Church
as it exist in Egypt today, including the Episcopal/Anglican Church.
Additionally, educational tours are arranged toward learning about Islam
and the Islamic history of Egypt.

Volunteers Needed!
Because of the transient nature of the international
community at St. John the Baptist, there are always many opportunities
for service and help in every area of ministry. For example, there is a
continual need for volunteers to help in teaching Church School. We
extend a warm invitation to all to volunteer in the area of their
interest and giftedness.
