Christian Education

What is A.B.C.?

Adult Bible Class follows Divine Worship at 10:45AM in Martin Hall and is led by Pastor Stinnett or an Elder. It is a time for the adults to become more involved in Bible study, conveniently at the same time as children’s Sunday School.

It is so important for us to be studying God’s Word, and ABC is such a wonderful opportunity to do that with our brothers and sisters in Christ.

The Social Board always has a pot of coffee ready and delicious treats to snack on. Come, grab a cup of coffee, and meet with your friends, or make new ones, as you Grow in Christ too!

Nursery Room is Open

A nursery room is located beyond the sitting area of the narthex on the right side. This room also serves as a FAMILY CARE ROOM for the convenience of our members and guests.

Available for anyone who needs a few moments of privacy for nursing needs or calming young children. The Worship service is broadcast into the room for your convenience. There are a few chairs, a changing station, a child-safety gate at door, some toys but no soundproofing.

There are changing stations in both restrooms as well. See a greeter or an usher if additional assistance is needed.

Sunday School & Confirmation 2025-26

Sunday School is for children from age 3 through High School beginning on Rally Sunday, September 7, 2025 following Divine Service.

The Concordia Publishing House (CPH) Enduring Faith curriculum, allows the student to explore the Biblical stories from the Old and New Testament, establishing a connection to Luther’s Small Catechism; preparing the student for Confirmation Instruction in the 6th grade. Following Confirmation, Christian Education continues through the Junior and Senior High School years.

Classes are taught by adult(s) with post-confirmation assistants, who are passionate about teaching our children the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

The Sunday School year runs from September 2025 - June 2026 meeting weekly unless otherwise noted on the Sunday School Calendar. Parents of Sunday School children are encouraged to attend Adult Bible Class (ABC) during the Sunday School hour.
