CHRISTIAN EDUCATION Christian Education is an integral part of congregational life and mission, a process that begins in childhood and continues throughout the life span. We want to encourage and enhance faith development for each member, so we are always working to provide opportunities for Christian growth and nurture. * Pre-School * Children's Education * Youth Ministry * Adult Education

We pride ourselves in our team of caring, dedicated, and well-trained church schoolteachers. Classes are available for young people from birth through high school.
Children's Education
Regular worship is an important
part of our total Christian Education program. Younger children and
youth attend part of each Sunday worship service; Confirmation and
post-confirmation students are encouraged to participate as adults
in the worship life of the congregation. Childcare for children
under two is available during worship services, if needed. St. Lucas provides a Vacation Bible School each summer for members and friends aged 3 through 7th grade. 8th graders and High School teens are encouraged to assist teachers by being helpers. The program provides an extended opportunity for sharing the Good News with our children, for reaching out to the community and for having lots of fun!

Activities include a fall retreat, a game day, ice skating and a service project.

Students meet weekly on Wednesday evenings, and on Sunday for worship and faith development class. Field trips, mission activities and retreats are also part of the Confirmation experience. Professional staff and adult mentors direct and share all these activities.
