Christian Education
Educational opportunities are offered in order to nurture and prepare us to live according to God’s Word. We provide Sunday School for all ages. Sunday School is held at 9:15 am each Sunday morning September through May (excluding two weeks in December during Christmas and Easter Sunday) and includes Nursery (age 3), Preschool (age 4) through High School and Adult Education.
Our Sunday School classes are involved in a Christmas Program each December.
First Lutheran offers a week-long Vacation Bible School program (usually the first or second week in June). VBS runs from 5:30 pm-8:00 pm with a light supper being served each evening. Each night the children participate in Bible Adventures, music, crafts and games.
"Confirmation" is a period of time set aside for young people to seriously study the Christian faith. After this period of study the students re-affirm their relationship with Jesus Christ. For many young people, this is a time when the faith they've heard about becomes alive in a new and fresh way. At First Lutheran, we sponsor a two and one-half year Confirmation program for seventh, eighth and ninth grade students. Students are confirmed in May of their ninth grade year.
The requirements for confirmation are as follows:
On Sunday mornings, we align our adult education with Sunday School times, which is 9:30- 10:15 am. Various topics are studied throughout the September to May calendar.
An adult evening Bible study is available during the months of September through May each Thursday evening at 6:30- 7:30 pm.
Early in the year we provide the opportunity for children in Second Grade to partake of their First Communion. The child and parents are required to attend a series of three short classes that focus on the sacrament of Holy Communion.
