20s & 30s Ministry
A community to Gather, Grow, and Go — together!
Whether you’re new to Houston or looking for a deeper connection, the 20s & 30s ministry at St. John the Divine is a growing community of young adults sharing life in Christ. From weekly small groups to monthly dinners and special events, there’s a place for you here.
Neighborhood Groups
Each week, our neighborhood groups meet to share a meal, open the Scriptures, and pray for one another. It’s a great way to build friendships and grow in faith.
Interested in joining a group? Reach out to The Rev. Trent Pettit to get connected.
Dinners & Gatherings
We’re always finding ways to share life together—from casual dinners to house parties, worship nights to special events.

Our faith calls us not only to gather, but to go — to serve our neighbors across Houston.
