Faith Formation

Faith formation/Christian education is a life-long process. We are never too young or too old to learn something new about God's love and how we can share it with others. We grow in faith as we read the Bible together and as we worship God together. We grow as disciples - followers of Jesus - through worship, prayer, Bible study, service, giving, and fellowship.

Adult Bible Study meets every 4th Sunday after worship, alternating between St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Faith Lutheran Church, and via Zoom link: http://bit.ly/jointbiblestudy .

Holy Communion Instruction prepares children to receive Holy Communion.

Confirmation Class prepares youth to affirm their baptism. Our studies take us through the Bible, Luther's Small Catechism, and church topics such as discipleship, stewardship, evangelism, and ecumenism.
