Programs for Everyone
The congregation of Faith Lutheran Church is made up of families, which is why the church believes it is so vital to offer opportunities for families to explore their faith, learn about God, grow, and have fun together.
According to the church, they provide activities on Sundays as well as during the week for people of all ages, including children, teenagers, and friends.
Children and young people aged three years and up through those in their 12th grade are encouraged to participate.
On Sunday mornings, according to the church's post, classes for children and adults are held at the same location as the worship services beginning at 10 a.m.
Also, students will participate in a lively Bible lecture with their classmates that has been tailored expressly for their age bracket.
Lessons could include making music or crafts, telling stories, drawing, or writing creatively or reflecting on what they have written.
Every week, FLC tells a Bible story as part of their Wonderful Wednesdays program and helps the youth connect the lesson of the story to their everyday life through activities such as writing, acting out plays, making crafts, and playing games.
They develop their relationship with Christ and make new friends in an atmosphere that is compassionate, enjoyable, and encouraging to them.
Annual Programs
