Who we are:

sj men

Eat. Study. Listen. Pray.

Men at St. John's build up and support each other in discipleship. We meet in small groups to break bread together and devote ourselves to the teaching of Christ and the apostles. Prayer is crucial to us. We invite you to join us in our journey to holiness in Christ.

Men @ 7:20
Expect breakfast, encouraging fellowship, prayer and stimulating Bible study.

We meet every Wednesday for breakfast from 7:20 to 7:50, we continue with a time of prayer between 7:50 and 8:00, and then Bible study from 8:00 to 8:30. We are currently working through the book of Luke.

Men @ prayer
These small discipleship groups meet once a week for 50 minutes at a time and place of their choosing. The time is organized as follows: 10 minutes informal discussion, 25 minutes discussion regarding prayerpoints (this can involve reflection on a recent sermon, a verse of scripture or perhaps a Bible study or other text), and 15 minutes of prayer. We explore three underlying themes:

  • How does what I have heard in the sermon or read in the Bible impact my life?
  • Is there any behaviour that I should commence doing or desist from?
  • What requires prayer?

Men @ breakfast
These special events occur three or four times a year on Saturday mornings at 9:00 am. We enjoy a full catered hot breakfast followed by a talk from a prominent member of the community. Recent speakers included Rector David Short and Rev. Dr. J. I. Packer.

Please check out the special events or calendar pages of this website for the date and details of the next breakfast.

"...Learning that all the other men at one point have gone through the issues I'm dealing with was eye-opening. Praying together, encouraging one another, and seeing prayers answered has been very helpful. I can't recommend the men's groups highly enough."
