Teaching the Children at St. Paul’s

Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as reminders on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, speaking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. (Deuteronomy 11:18-19)

Children will learn the basic foundation for their Christian faith at St. Paul’s drawn from the Bible. We believe that the Word of God creates and strengthens the faith of the littlest listeners. Sunday School runs from September-May beginning at 10:15 AM following Sunday Divine Service (Beginning as early as three years old). As the children grow older, they will be invited to enter Pastor’s Catechism class held on Sunday mornings during the school year. This instruction will lead to first communion and public rite of confirmation.

Midweek Classes which run from 3:30-4:30 during the school year include opportunities for the children to grow in their Christian faith.

An annual Vacation Bible School program in the summer is always a highlight of teaching the children.

St. Paul’s also seeks to equip parents to raise their children in the truth of God’s Word. This chiefly begins by bringing the children into the Divine Service where God’s Word is heard, God’s forgiveness is received, and faith is strengthened. Come join us!
