Sunday School

One of the most important areas of education at First Lutheran is Sunday School. Our Sunday School program is open to everyone. We offer classes for children age 2 - Adults. Our students may attend the 9:30 hour of Sunday School.

Our 2 year old through Kindergarten use Group Publishing materials that focus on one Bible passage for a four week period. The curriculum is hands on which allows students to learn about the Bible in multiple ways.

First grade - High School use lectionary-based materials published by Augsburg Fortress. This means that the lessons that students hear in worship on Sunday morning are the same lessons they study in class. This gives students the opportunity to hear the lesson a number of times during that Sunday.

One of the elements of Christian life that we are introducing to 2-year olds through 5th grade will be studying prayer and Luther's Small Catechism. In March the 2-year old - kindergarten will spend one Sunday leading us in the prayer of the day. Later in the month the 1 - 5 grade will lead us in portions of Luther's Small Catechism.

Our Sunday School children's offerings are divided in half. Half stays here at First and assists in the ministry of the parish and Sunday School. The other half is divided into three areas of community giving to assist in a benevolence ministry. There are a number of Sunday School activities that are fun and educational. The children's Christmas programs, Sunday School music, Special Festival Sunday themes and Rally Sunday are a few.

Our parish also has Parish Protection Program in place to ensure that our young people are safe as they participate in events within our church. Everyone who works with children at First Lutheran must attend Parish Protection Training events prior to being with our youth. As part of this program people are required to fill out a form so that a background check may be completed.

If you are interested in being involved in our Sunday School program as a teacher or helper please contact the church office. One of our staff people or members of the Sunday School Ministry Team will be in touch with you.

We also offer an adult class on Sunday morning at 9:30.
