Grace Lutheran has a dynamic Christian Education program that strives to help families and our congregation keep their baptismal promises. During the school year, we offer Sunday morning educational opportunities for children in 3K-12th grade. There are also several groups that meet throughout the year for fun, fellowship and Christian education.

Confirmation
Grace Lutheran has a dynamic Confirmation ministry that strives to help young Christians to grow in faith so that they will live out the Affirmation of Baptism promises they make at the end of their ninth grade year.
These promises are that they will:
Our program works with students in seventh, eighth and ninth grades. The involvement of parents is also crucial. Parents who keep the promises they make to their children when they are baptized play the most crucial role in helping young people grow in faith.
