Foundations Class – In this class, we cover the basics of Christianity from a Lutheran perspective. It is a great class for people who are wondering about the faith, those who would like to refresh their faith and those who would like to become members of SLC via Baptism or Affirmation of Faith.

Manna Bible Study – This ministry provides a mid-week Bible study opportunity for those who would like to “dig a little deeper” into the lessons for Sunday morning worship. This Small Group Bible Study generally meets on Wednesday mornings at 10:45am in Room 4, just prior to the Hearty Meal program, a ministry of SLC. Learners look at the lessons for the upcoming Sunday’s Old Testament, Epistle and Gospel lessons. Opportunities for discussion and fellowship offer a wonderful way to get more out of Sunday morning texts. Pasts Manna Classes can be viewed on SLC’s YouTube Channel-Manna.
Lay School of Theology – The Lay School of Theology is a yearly educational opportunity to learn in-depth about a theological subject, which varies from year to year. Taught by guest speakers.
Community Group Bible Studies – These groups seek to offer an authentic Christian community. They typically study the Sunday scriptures and sermons from the Sunday prior to when they meet. The hope is to connect daily life with the Sunday proclamation. In addition to the Bible study, the groups build caring and supportive relationships and pray for each other. These groups are continuing to grow and we can find a Community Group for you! Please refer to our Small Groups Page for additional information.
We also offer other Educational Opportunities throughout the year. Contact the Office or Pastoral Staff at 692-9263 for current educational opportunities.
