A Weekly Fellowship for Prayer and Bible Study takes place with approximately 15 attending each week.
There is a well maintained suite of halls which is widely used and which can be accessed from the rear of the church on Church Street.
St John's has a strong evangelical tradition with an emphasis on a Bible teaching ministry. The New International Version of the Bible is used in worship and copies are available in the pews. Praise is taken from Mission Praise and/or Church Hymnary with participation by the Church Choir.
