Who we are

a)     Mission:  The mission of First Lutheran School is to provide a Christ-centered, Bible-based academically excellent program where through nurturing and encouragement, children grow to spiritual maturity modeling the morals, values, and characteristics of a Christian lifestyle.

b)     Philosophy:  We believe that all who have been brought to faith are commissioned by Him to preserve and extend the Kingdom of God.  [Matthew 28: 19-20]  First Lutheran School exists as a vital component of First Lutheran Church's mission and ministry, and through Christ-centered education strives to equip its students to be maturing disciples of Christ, applying God's Law and Gospel to all aspects of life and learning in order to be effective witnesses for Him.

c)      Objectives:  The objectives of First Lutheran School are to provide an environment:

1)     Where children learn God's Word and Will and are nurtured in the Christian faith.

2)     Where children experience God's love, express their love for God through worship of Him, service to others; accept themselves and each other as forgiven and forgiving sinners, and live daily in His forgiveness.

3)     Where children learn and develop their individual skills and talents as good stewards of God's gifts and use them in striving for excellence.

4)     Where the whole child grows and matures as a unique child of God - spiritually, intellectually, physically, socially, aesthetically, and emotionally.

5)     Where children are led to help others, not only in the home and the school but also in the community and the world.

6)     To assist the parents in their God-given responsibilities as their children's primary teachers.
