Education at First Lutheran

Mission Jesus in his great commission said, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you." (Matthew 28:19-20) Jesus' words and actions clearly teach that learning and faithfulness are bound together. We at First Lutheran Church take our responsibility to teach and to learn seriously and believe that our formation as disciples of Jesus Christ is a life-long journey.

Educational Offerings

Sunday School for Children - Sundays at 9:15 AM (September - June) Sunday School begins with all of the children's classes gathering together for prayer and song. Then, based on age and ability, children from ages 2 to 10 go to one of three classes: pre-elementary, lower-elementary, and upper- elementary. We use a lectionary based curriculum called Seasons of the Spirit where the lessons and activities of each class are based on the lessons that will be heard in worship.

Sunday School for Adults - Sundays at 9:15 AM (September - June) In this class we explore and discuss a variety of topics. Through Bible study, book studies, special presentations, and discussions of current issues, we attempt to be better equipped to sense God and serve God in our daily life. We welcome a variety of viewpoints.

Mid-Week Adult Bible Study - Tuesdays at 10:00 AM We gather each week from 10:00 - 11:00 AM to study and discuss scripture. All are welcome.

Small Group Bible Study - Alternate Tuesdays at 7:15 PM We gather in homes to study and discuss scripture. All are welcome.

Confirmation We offer a two-year confirmation program for youth who are generally between the 7th and 9th grades.

Wednesday Evenings We gather each Wednesday evening, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm for a simple meal, Bible Study and a service of evening prayer.

Vacation Bible School Each July we offer a one-week Vacation Bible Experience for children ages 3 through 8. This program is geared both toward children of our congregation and of the wider community.
