Philosophy of Ministry

St. Peter’s Lutheran School is a mission and ministry of St. Peter’s Evangelical Lutheran Church.  Christian education is a core virtue of the congregation because of God’s command to “…bring [children] up in the training and instructions of the Lord.” (Ephesians 6:4) We are committed to reaching out with the Gospel and equipping children for lives of faith and Christian service.   

 “Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.  And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20)   

Philosophy of Lutheran Christian Education

St. Peter’s believes that true wisdom can only be found in Jesus Christ.  Therefore, we strive to provide the highest quality instruction in all subjects, teaching them with a Christ-centered focus.  Through the working of the Holy Spirit, each child is prepared for life on earth and for eternity.

 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow His precepts have good understanding.  To Him belongs eternal praise.”  (Psalm 111:10)
