Bible Studies
-
If you are looking for a bible study that is open to everyone, walk in to the Adult Forum (Sundays at
9:15 a.m.) and enjoy coffee, conversation and bible study led by the Senior Pastor. Perhaps you are searching for something a little more intimate – such as a Men’s Breakfast Bible Study or a Women’s Bible Study. Couples are also encouraged to grow deeper in their faith together at Married4Life.
If you are a person who wishes to serve in a group or individually, Visit the Serving Opportunities to be a part of worship or a small group that puts their hand and feet to work to assist others in the community and beyond.
Wherever your interests may be, St. John encourages everyone to take part in something to become an active part of the church family
Men's Breakfast Bible Study
The St. John Men’s Breakfast Bible Study meets each week at Perkins on Friday mornings at 6:30 am. Men of all ages are encouraged to drop in. Check the church calendar for any changes to this schedule.
This informal group has a great time sharing a meal, discussing topics and growing deeper in their faith as they study the bible.
Women's Bible Study
Several small groups of ladies gather on a monthly basis to grow deeper in their faith as they dig into different topics in the Bible and enjoy fellowship together. If you are interested in joining a group, please contact the church office to get more information about these groups and when they meet.
Married Couples
-
Married4Life is an opportunity for you to intentionally care for something we often hope will take care of itself:OUR MARRIAGE
In this small group ministry, couples gather monthly with other couples
to care for your relationship in a time frame designed specifically
for the two of you with no distractions.
Marriage Care is…
* An informal, conversational meeting with other couples.
* The chance to enrich your relationship and grow in your marriage.
* A time to express what you value about each other and what sometimes makes you stumble.
Marriage Care is not…
* A substitute for therapy
* In-depth Training
* Just another social group
Interested in being a part of this group? Contact the church office at 701-225-6747.
Marriage Care is a ministry developed by Bill and Anita Smith at Luther Seminary, and is used by several congregations as well as seminary students and spouses.
Adult Education

Learning in Service to Christ ~
Throughout the school year, an Adult Education class is held between Sunday worship services, from 9:15 a.m. – 10:15 a.m. A variety of education is offered. Occasionally there is a speaker from the community or from a ministry outside of Dickinson. This is also a time for Adult Bible Study or a deeper look at the gospel reading for that day.
This group is attended by men and women of varying ages. You can come for one session, or several – it is a “walk-in” class. Everyone is welcome in the Fellowship Room on the main floor of the church building for this interesting and informal group! The coffee and tea are always hot ~ and we occasionally enjoy homemade treats!
Financial Peace University (FPU) is a nine-lesson class on money management taught by America’s most trusted financial guru, Dave Ramsey. Dave and his teaching team will walk you through the basics of budgeting, dumping debt, planning for the future and much more.
