Continuing Spiritual Growth

Spiritual Growth is described in detail in 2 Peter 1:3-8, "His divine power has given us everything needed for life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.  For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.  For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."

This is about putting faith into action, helping each other get closer to God, helping one another better listen to and understand God's calling for us. Everything from Worship to Bible Study to Education to Retreats to Prayer Groups are part of how St. John's provides a spiritual home base for us.

Spiritual growth happens in a myriad of ways and at different times in our lives.  It is our heart felt desire to walk alongside one another as we discover the saving power of our Blessed Savior; and find not only solace and comfort, but the zeal to be faithful stewards in all that we do.
