New to Knox
This class is a great way for new members or visitors to learn about our John Knox family!! It is held several times a year, often as a part of WNL programming for adults. One of our pastors will guide the class through the beliefs and background of the Presbyterian tradition as well as the many exciting opportunities here at John Knox.
Presbyterian Women
PW circles at John Knox meet monthly for Bible study, service, and fellowship. During the year PW members enjoy special gatherings, mission opportunities, and social activities. All women of the church are invited to attend PW circles and activities.
Men's Prayer Breakfast
Join the men of the church for breakfast, fellowship, spiritual devotion and prayer in the Kirk Room every Monday or Thursday morning from 7:00-8:00am.
2 X 4's
2 X 4's is a group of single and single-agains. This multi-aged group is devoted to Christian fellowship, spiritual inquiry and growth using a variety of materials to guide their study. The 2X4's meet the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month for dinner and study. In addition, they have spring and fall weekend retreats to Montreat for fellowship and Bible study. They also attend concerts, plays and baseball games together. Come make new friends with us.
YAH's (Young at Hearts)
The YAH's are a friendly, active senior group that meets the 3rd Tuesday of each month with a variety of programs such as: Christmas drop-in, Valentine luncheon, picnics, tours of local interests, covered dish gatherings with interesting speakers and so forth…And we always enjoy good food.
Annual JK Church Family Retreat
This retreat promises to be a memorable time for you and entire families as we celebrate God's glory through skits, music, Bible study, laughter and games. We come closer to knowing Jesus Christ as we escape from the demands of our busy lives. This church-wide retreat is usually held in late April and this year will be in the beautiful mountain setting of Blue Ridge Assembly, near Montreat, NC.
Recreational Fellowship
Every winter John Knox has basketball teams for all ages of children, youth and adults. In the spring, we have men's and women's softball teams for those ages 16 and above. Semi-annual golf tournaments are also enjoyed at John Knox. These are a great ways to get exercise and have a lot of fun at the same time.
College Connection
This program helps our college students remain connected to the church, even while they are away. This is done on several levels, including care packages from the Presbyterian Women, Christmas and Summer gatherings, weekly e-mail devotionals, and a Sunday School class for college students and other young adults.
