Nursery Care and Sunday School
Our nursery is open 15 minutes before worship every Sunday and during Wednesday Night family-wide programming.
In addition to upholding the highest standards of safety and cleanliness, the Christian Education Team helps introduce our infants and toddlers to the love of God through music, stories, and crafts.
For Sunday School, all kids begin in worship with their parents and leave to the Sunday School Chapel after the Children’s Message.
Our classes follow the Orange curriculum, which allows every class to study a familiar Bible topic each Sunday, making it easier for parents to guide family discussions afterwards about what each child learned. Learn more about the Orange Curriculum.
Wednesday Night Programming
Students in PreK-5th grade are welcome to come on Wednesday nights from 6:30-7:30p for some fun activities and learning about the love of God together! We do not meet in the summer.
For more information about Wednesday Night programming, email Alison at alison@fccstjoseph.org.
