Grades 4, 5, and 6

Our 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students have opportunities to share their experiences with their peers in a variety of ways. We explore real world problems and how people can make a difference in their small corner of the world.  We further explore our Lutheran theology basics, including Martin Luther, and why they are important in their faith journey. There are educational and fellowship opportunities available throughout the year for this age group.
