Visiting any church, especially a larger one, for the very first time can be a tough experience. Where
to go? What to wear? What time to show up? What's here for my kids? What can I expect? These and
many more questions surface. Well, we want to put you at ease. Your first visit to Joshua Baptist will
be refreshing, friendly, and enjoyable for your whole family. We want you to experience inspiring
music, helpful teaching and preaching, friendly people, and a place where you feel welcome and "at
home"! Here are a few answers to your questions and what you might expect on your first visit.
1. Finding and Navigating the Campus
You can't miss our growing church on Highway 174 (Wilshire Blvd.)as you enter Joshua. The main
sanctuary has several entrances that you can use. As you enter the main worship center, one of our
ushers will meet you and direct you to the right classes and services or you may go directly to the
Hospitality Center for information. They can also answer any questions you may have.
2. Finding Nurseries, Classes, and Services
Our campus has a lot of buildings, which to a guest can seem overwhelming at first. It's not as
complicated as it looks, and we would like to help you find the appropriate nurseries, classes, and
services for every person in your family. Our greeters and ushers are located around campus as well
as in the lobby of the main worship center and will gladly help direct and even escort you to the right
place.
3. What's here for my kids?
Starting with excellent nurseries, there is something special for every age child from birth through high
school! At every service on Sunday morning there are safe, clean, and highly staffed nurseries for
children three years old and under. For the infants, mothers will receive a pager so that the nursery
attendants can easily contact you if there is a need. For children four years old through sixth grade
there are fun, friendly, and Bible-centered classes. These classes are staffed with trained, friendly, and
well-qualified teachers and helpers who will make church exciting and memorable for your child. For
students seventh grade through high school age, there are graded classes in our student ministries.
Most of the teens attend a class one hour and then a worship service another hour with their parents.
