Sunday School
Rally Day, on the first Sunday after the Labor Day weekend, marks the start of the Sunday Christian Education Hour for all ages, 3's through adult, which continues through the regular school year. Classes meet following worship and coffee hour, beginning at about 10:20 am.
Our Sunday School curriculum is designed to introduce children in age-appropriate ways to the great truths and the memorable heroes of the Bible and the Christian faith, building year by year toward spiritual growth. Music & the arts are important parts of our Christian learning program.
Children's Church & Nursery
Every Sunday worship service at Servants of Christ includes a Children's Sermon by the pastor. Then our children from pre-K through 4th grade depart for a Children's Church lesson on that day's Scripture theme, at their level. They return to the Sanctuary at the end of the service to receive a blessing at the Communion rail with their families. During worship a Nursery is also available close by for the tiny tots.
First Communion Class
The pastor offers a 5-session class for young people of 5th grade age and above to prepare them to receive the Sacrament of Holy Communion. Parents participate in this learning group.
Confirmation
Lutherans cherish our 500-year tradition of providing solid biblical education and discipleship training for young people. Our 7th and 8th grade youth meet with the pastor on Mondays after school to study scripture and the great themes of our faith from Dr. Martin Luther's SMALL CATECHISM. The Rite of Confirmation each spring offers young people the chance to publicly affirm and celebrate their faith in Jesus Christ, our Savior.
