Bible Studies

On Sunday mornings there are several choices for adult Bible Study, including two led by the Pastors. Additional Bible study groups meeting during the week, including two women’s studies, an LWML study, and a men’s group.

Education

Sunday School for age 2 through adult meets every Sunday from 9:35 am to 10:40 am. For children, the education hour begins with a music class and rehearsal (Cherub Choir, Angel Choir, Youth Choir, and Hand chimes). Adult classes meet from 9:45-10:40 am (after coffee fellowship).

Every year a Vacation Bible School is held, usually the third week of June, for children age 2 through Middle School. Classes are generally held evenings, begin with a community meal, and the schedule goes from 5:15 pm to 8:00 pm.

Catechism Classes

A 2 1⁄2 year series of catechism classes introduce those 6th grade or older to the big story of the Bible, Luther’s Small Catechism, Christian history, and Lutheran worship. Classes begin when the public school year starts in August and finish in early May. At the end of the process is an essay, a Confirmation banquet, and Confirmation on the last Sunday in October. If you have a youth 6th grade or older, please contact the Church Office or one of the Pastors to enroll in the catechism program.

WOMEN’S GROUPS

A Lutheran Women’s Missionary League group meets monthly (except July and August) for Bible study, to plan mission projects, and to work with other LWML groups in our Zone, District, and Synod. A group of Crafty Women quilt for Lutheran World Relief as part of our support of those in need throughout the world.

What We Believe

Lutherans are orthodox Christians who confess the Trinity and who believe in Jesus Christ, the only Son of God and perfect man, who died for all and rose to those who believe in Him eternal life. We confess the catholic creeds as faithful summaries of the Scriptures and believe the Word of God speaks without error the eternal truths of God. Lutherans joyfully celebrate the gifts of forgiveness, peace, hope, life, and salvation won by Jesus on the cross and freely bestowed through the means of grace (Word and Sacraments) to all who believe in Him.
