St. Joseph Christian

Introducing the St. Joseph Christian School Class of 2026. Join us as we celebrate our seniors and look ahead to graduation. Please join us in praying for our seniors to seek the Lord with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength, and desire His Word to be a lamp to their feet and a light to their path as they step into new seasons of work, study, and life! Graduation will be held on Sunday, May 17, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. in the East Gym.

We were honored to welcome @sgruber91 this week to speak with our 7th–12th grade students! Seth Gruber is a nationally recognized pro-life author and speaker who focuses on the sanctity of human life. Through his writing, speaking, and filmmaking, Mr. Gruber encourages young people and adults to thoughtfully engage biblically with important questions surrounding the value, dignity, and protection of human life. During his visit, Seth had the opportunity to speak with our secondary students and several of our secondary classes. We are grateful for the opportunity for our students to hear from a passionate speaker and engage thoughtfully and biblically on these important topics.

The morning of 8/27 was Senior Sunrise for the Class of 2027! 🌅 Our seniors gathered at 6:15am that morning for the first of many special memories to be made this year. We are praying for our seniors! Lord, we pray for each senior to have a heart that is open and completely surrendered to you and your will for their lives. We pray they will live in active relationship with you, that they will continue to grow spiritually, and remain vigilant against deceptive influences. We pray for their wisdom and strength to come from being deeply rooted in you, Lord, not from human traditions or worldly philosophies. Lord, help each one to be grounded, growing, and grateful in You. Help them maintain a daily relationship with You through prayer, the study of Your Word, and obedience to Your leading. Cultivate within them hearts of thankfulness, recognizing and giving thanks for Your faithful work in their lives. Make Yourself known to each one in a personal and unmistakable way, as only You can. Meet them where they are, Lord. Go before them and prepare their hearts for the paths You have prepared for each one. Give them courage, wisdom, discernment, and a steadfast faith as they follow You. May they seek Your will above all else and trust You with every season, every decision, and every step. May their lives continue to reflect Your grace and bring glory to Your name. All for Your glory, Lord. Amen.
