Creative Ministries
“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”
Genesis 1:1
The first thing that we learn about the character of God in the Bible is that, at the beginning of all time, he created. And we get to create and be creative at church, too!
At St. John’s, we have two formal creative ministries, and they work together closely:
Music
The music ministry leads us in musical worship at all of our services.
Production
SJV Prod takes care of all of the technical aspects of our services and events. Their mission is to serve God Well, Disciple People, and Celebrate Creativity.
Music Ministry
Insert a bunch of text about the vision of the ministry, the philosophy of music, what kinds of opportunities there are for people to join teams, etc.

SJV Prod is responsible for any audio-visual need at midweek events, such as worship nights, funerals, and workshops.
We also take care of audio-visual needs at weekend retreats, which can be a large undertaking.
We’re always looking for more help from people with flexible hours to who are interested in audio to run these events.
If you are interested in helping out, please contact Merial Bull, Director of Communications & Production.

We’re big on team building at SJV Prod.
Every year, we host a big vision & training event in the Spring, as well as a team appreciation barbecue in the Summer.
Whenever there is time and capacity, we connect our members to workshops and conferences that can stoke ther creative fire or hhone their skill in music production.
If you have gifts and talents that you can impart to us in the form of training (e.g. running a workshop), please reach out to Merial Bull, Director of Communications & Production.
