School Notes
- First Lutheran School Benton endeavors to serve Christian families of all traditional, trinitarian denominations as ecumenically as possible. Religious education at FLSB will focus on what all traditional Christian denominations share in common. First of all, we will focus on the Scriptures (and in particular, the biblical narrative). When it comes to doctrine, our focus will be on the fundamental doctrines articulated in the Nicene Creed, all of which are shared across denominations. (For example, we will teach our children that we worship One God in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Also, we will teach them about the incarnation, atonement, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus, and his return in glory). The moral teachings of the Scriptures as traditionally taught in the Church will also be upheld, including traditional teaching regarding marriage, family, sex, and gender.

As a parent, I couldn't be more grateful for the education and christian mentorship that has been gifted to my child at First Lutheran in Benton. They treat the students as individuals and not just a number. The teachers and staff make a difference and really care for each student. I've checked out many other private schools in the area, and FLS impressed me the most because you can tell they care and want your child to excel academically and personally.

First Lutheran has been a life saver for my son. We made the decision to pull him from public school two and half months into first grade and moved him First Lutheran. Best decision ever. The smaller class sizes really did make all the difference in the world for him. He has so much more one on one time with his teachers which has improved his learning tremendously. He's now in second grade and we couldn't be happier! 10/10 recommend!
