NURSERY CARE

If Nursery Care is needed during Service, please talk with a Greeter. They will alert our volunteers that nursery care is being requested.

The room is located past the sitting area of the narthex on the right side.

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!

Sunday School & Confirmation 2024-25

Sunday School  is for children from age 3 through High School beginning on Rally Sunday, September 8, 2024 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 2024 - June 2025 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.
