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.
