We are Connected for Community
We were never intended to do life all alone, but rather in the love and company of God and each other.
We believe that life can be wonderfully enriched and more fully enjoyed in the company of others. That’s the vision and spirit behind Congregational Life – a component of the Connections Ministry of Johns Creek Baptist Church.
Congregational Life offers various, fun opportunities for people to have shared experiences around common interests. These organized activities – along with any number of special events throughout the year – serve to help us know each other more and love each other better.
So, explore, join in, and experience Congregational Life!
We gather several times a year to celebrate our newcomers by sharing a meal together. Read more about Let’s Eat and see our current calendar here…

Making Beautiful Cards that Lift and Encourage
Card Sharks is a fun, creative group that re-purposes previously used greeting cards and makes new cards from scratch. Their aim is to reach out to people who may need cheering up – and to equip others to do the same. Card Sharks makes and sends cards to JCBC Homebound Members on special occasions and stocks several Sunday School classes with cards that can be sent to class members and friends who might need a little love and encouragement. Their sincere desire is to help keep anyone from feeling as though they’ve been forgotten. No previous experience is required. Materials and assistance in learning to use the equipment is provided.
Meeting Time: Tuesdays at 10:00 AM

Sew, Knit, Crochet
The Hook and Needle Guild of Johns Creek is a group of folks who knit, crochet, and sew just about anything! Over the years this group has made and sent hundreds – maybe thousands – of gowns, pillowcase dresses, blankets, shawls, and the like to people all over the world who need them in places like Puerto Rico, Haiti, Siberia and across the US. Recently, the Hook and Needle Guild has formed an association with Tiny Stitches – a local non-profit providing gowns, sleepers, quilts, wash cloths, bibs etc. to newborns in need born in hospitals throughout the Atlanta area. The group also makes Prayer Shawls as encouraging gifts to cancer patients through CanCare. And individual guild members are always working on personal projects for fun.
