St. Joe First puts kids first! We care deeply about helping children learn the Bible and making sure they know they are loved by God. Our goal is to build a firm spiritual foundation that will last a lifetime. Our dedicated teachers invest love and time in the life of each child. We offer a program and nursery on Sundays, a weekly Spark Kids' Club, and a fun-filled Kids' Camp each summer.  Our Children's Ministry programs are led by Will Flaherty.

Sunday Mornings

KIDS' WORSHIP

11:00am-12:00pm

K-5th grade:  Youth Center Room 305

Offered during the modern service, kids encounter God through a fun-filled and faith-filled hour of worship.  Kids start out at the Activity station where they can color, do word searches, mazes, or crossword puzzles.  Then there is an opening prayer, music, reciting a creed, Scripture, watching a curriculum video, discussing the scripture and video, having a get-to-know-you and prayer time, and ending by singing a few more songs.

Infant-preschool:  Room 101 -  Entrance 1

Our Nursery is open Sunday mornings from 8:45am to 12:15pm.  The Nursery is staffed by a paid nursery attendant who is certified in first aid and CPR.
