Our Sunday School
|
Sunday School classes for Faith Lutheran Church are held each Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. Classes are available for preschool, kindergarten, junior, preteen, junior high, and high school children. Each Sunday morning begins with an opening in the church sanctuary for grades preschool through fifth with prayer, a message from Pastor, music, and announcements. Children and teachers then progress to their classrooms to study lessons from the series Our Life in Christ from Concordia Publishing House. (Starting June 25th, it will be 8:15 am)
Summer Sunday School meets with combined classes and uses a more informal teaching approach.
Once a month, on the third Sunday, the children sing during Divine Service. They also take part in an annual Christmas program involving the telling of the Christmas story and singing several Christmas songs.

Adult Education
|
As Christians, we are called to study and learn God’s Word. There are a variety of educational opportunities for adults. Adult Bible Study – This class meets every Sunday morning at 9:30 am. This class normally studies a book of the Bible verse-by-verse and chapter-by-chapter. Occasionally, a topical study is presented. (Starting June 25th, it will be 8:15 am)
Doctrine & Theology (D&T) Class – This class meets every Sunday afternoon at 3:30 pm and is intended for those who desire to delve a little deeper into the Scriptures.
Adult Confirmation – This class is primarily intended for those of non-Lutheran backgrounds who desire to join this congregation, although it is also for those who desire to refresh themselves. This is an “as-needed” class and will be held as a class of many students or in the home as a one-on-one class. Other classes are periodically added as needed or desired. Keep your eye on the church calendar.

Junior Confirmation
| Confirmation is a custom of the church and not a sacrament. It links the catechumens to their Baptism, celebrates the reception of the Lord’s Word among them and welcomes them to the Lord’s Table. Luther strongly urges in both the Large and the Small Catechisms that those who are unwilling to learn, at the very least, the Ten Commandments, the Creed, and the Lord’s Prayer, should not be admitted to the Sacrament. Baptized Christians are admitted to the Sacrament when they have been examined and absolved by their pastor in accordance with the practice outlined in the Augsburg Confession (Article XXV). |
A.R.K.
| Our children’s midweek education program is called A.R.K. – an acronym for Almighty Redeeming King. It meets on Wednesday nights in the months of October, November, February, March, and sometimes part of April. A.R.K is for children ages 3 through 4th grade. The children enjoy Bible stories, Bible memorization, music, snacks, and crafts all centered around God’s Word. In the past, we have also had fun nights such as performing skits, singing at area care centers, and “Who Am I Night” where children dress up as a person from the Bible. |
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
| Vacation Bible School is held at Faith Lutheran Church the third week of every July. A special theme is followed every year. Children enjoy stories, puppet shows, plays, songs, recreation, special food teats, crafts, and fellowship each summer. It’s a fun-filled week which the children always seem to enjoy. |
