Church School

At St. Luke’s Church School we believe in empowering children through both formal and informal learning opportunities. Sunday school leaders are responsible for creating an environment which allows children to affirm their own identity as beloved children of God and to begin discovering the ministries to which they themselves are called, at church and in the world. We believe parents are their children’s primary faith teachers, opening up the spiritual life to their children, and the church needs to help both parents and children achieve this goal.

Currently we are operating with a one-room school model, with children from ages 4-12 all in the same classroom engaging the same stories and questions. Older and younger children are able to learn from each other in this model. Our mission in the classrooms is to guide the children in their understanding of who they are, why they are special, who Christ is, how they relate to Christ and how through Christ they relate to the world. We do this through a variety of methods, including Bible stories, art projects, and games. Our goal is to prepare our children for the future, equipped with the knowledge of Jesus’ teachings, power and love!
