Sunday School for childrenSunday School

"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God." (Colossians 3:16)

What Is Sunday School?

Sunday School is a program offered every Sunday morning at 9:15 AM at Apostles Lutheran Church.  Christian Education is offered for age two through 8th grade, we offer a topical high school Bible class, and adult Bible studies, all at the same time! 

The goal of our Sunday School is to teach God's truth to our children, youth and adults, and to assist families in the spiritual education.  Our Sunday School classes show our children God loves them and that their faith is relevant now and will be throughout their adult lives.

The purpose of Sunday School is to "To make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." (Matthew 28:19-20)

Disciple making is not an isolated incident or experience, but rather a lifelong process of Christian growth, development, and learning.  A primary focus of our Sunday School is to nurture the faith development of those children and youth entrusted to our spiritual care.
