VBS 2026
OUR SUMMER MISSION: VBS & SUMMER CAMP Rather than a standalone VBS, this year we will Connect Students to Jesus by integrating elements of VBS into Faith Lutheran School’s SUMMER CAMP. Why? God has already provided students for summer camp.

I’d…

While they did not have to face the chaotic whims of the modern world,…

The Feast of St. Joseph reminds us to honor our fathers and our mothers; and it reminds us to faithfully discharge our own duties…
Why Does a Church Operate a School?
Dear Faith, Let me state the obvious: Faith Lutheran Church and School has had some big struggles over the last few years. And these struggles have led to some frank conversations and difficult decisions about our ministry and mission. But as we have these important conversations about what we can and cannot do, it is most important to ask why we do what we do at all. The work of the church is not a practical matter. The church does…

Dear Faith Lutheran Church and School, At a recent Bible Study, an important topic came up. I’ll summarize the topic with this question: What is worship? As with many things, the answer to this defining question will determine what and how we practice worship on Sunday mornings. Many Christians today think that worship is what we do. The idea is that we worship God by offering our prayers, our praise, our thanksgiving, and our offerings. We do it. But the…
