School Notes
- At Faith Lutheran, we strive to offer the best possible education. Small class sizes, individual attention, and a safe family atmosphere make our school a wonderful place for your child to grow and learn. Far more important, however, is the fact that your children will daily hear the message of God`s love for them and for others. Not only is God`s Word allowed in our school, it is a vital part in all of the classes, in all of the necessary discipline of growing Christian boys and girls, and in all of the goals that we have established for the school as a mission of Faith Lutheran Church.
