Christian Education
Adult Education
Sunday School for adults meets in the church library prior to worship service on Sunday morning at 9:00 AM during Advent and Lent. The group studies a variety of materials with a focus on the biblical text. This small group tackles tough questions and dives into scripture looking for the answers. Come on in, the coffee’s on!
Confirmation: 7th and 8th Grade
The affirmation of baptism is a central part of the confirmation program at St. James Lutheran Church. Young people in 7th and 8th grade meet every Wednesday during the school year. The first year of study is focused on the biblical narrative. Kids will encounter the great characters of the bible and learn about their stories, from Moses to King David to the disciples and Paul. The second year of study takes a deep dive into the central teachings of the Christian faith. Students will take a close look at their own faith journey as they grow toward an understanding of what it means to be a Christian.
