The GP Crew Puppet Ministry (God's Puppets) of Saint John made their debut with a play on November 10, 2002, at a fellowship dinner before a packed house at Saint John. The Ministry began with 6 puppeteers and has grown to a cast of 12. The criteria for participation in this Ministry is that one must be a member of Saint John's Sunday School and must be between the ages of 13 up to a young adult. God's Puppet Ministry started under the direction of Mrs. Cassandra Christie. In 2007, Mr. Darrell Vanderhorst became the co-director. The GP Crew has been invited to numerous events including nursing homes, banquets, conventions, state agencies, family reunions, private homes and other events where there has been a listening ear. On September 16, 2007, God's Puppet Crew performed as "The Jamaican Yams" with the Auntie Karen Foundation on South Carolina ETV featuring a story line on sickle cell anemia.
