There are six Mariner groups, or "ships," in St. John's Church.
Each group serves a different age level and most groups provide
both social and Christian fellowship to their members.

The purpose of the Mariner groups is:

* To encourage Christian Faith and practice in every home,
and to help families progress in Christian living.

* To become involved in positive ministry programs that
address the total well-being of people.

* To interest people outside the church in uniting with the church.

* To provide the opportunity for Christian fellowship.

* To develop leadership for the church.

* To support and serve the church in its total ministry and mission.
Each Mariner ship has a "cargo," a project that benefits
and strengthens the whole church. Besides the individual Mariner
ships' meetings, the Fleet holds two activities each year for all
the ships meeting together: the Annual Fleet Dinner which is
followed by a fund raising program for a church project and the
"Hanging of the Greens" where the ships decorate the
church for Christmas.
