Central Lutheran Church offers many opportunities to learn more about the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Sunday School

The mission of Sunday School is to teach the story of Jesus Christ and serve the needs of others.

• Our first contact is through Cradle Roll where "Messages of God's Love" are sent to the home until the child is three years old. There is also a nursery provided each Sunday morning.
  
  
• The pre-school through sixth grade students meet each Sunday in a general assembly where Christian education and fellowship are experienced through singing, and sharing personal events. Following the assembly, students are dismissed to their age group classes to learn stories from the bible.
  
  
• Grades nine through 12 meet to discuss personal and peer situations as they relate to their Christian life.
• Adults have several classes, where topics and themes vary throughout the year.
  
  

Tuesday Morning Bible Study

A group of ladies meets at the church each Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. for studying God's Word. Leadership of the sessions is rotated among several members of the group. The group studies specific books of the Bible as well as the Biblical perspective on topics of interest to them.

Vacation Bible School

One week each summer brings great fun and excitement to the halls of the education building! Vacation Bible School is open to all children (regardless of denomination or church affiliation) ages three to 12. With Bible-based lessons, crafts, music, and physical activities, children are swept into a whirl of activities teaching them how special they are as God's little blessings. The staff consists entirely of volunteers ranging in ages 13 to, well, there are no limits! The week ends with a family celebration providing opportunity for the children to show off what they have done and learned during the week. Call the church office for information about dates and times at 214-327-2222.

Adult Inquiry Class

Also known as "seekers and searchers", the Adult Inquiry Class is offered for adults who are seeking to join the Lutheran Church as well as those who wish to review their understanding of basic Scripture and Lutheran Doctrine primarily as taught through Martin Luther's Small Catechism. The class is offered periodically throughout the year. Please contact the Pastor (214) 327-2222 for more details.

Confirmation Class

The Confirmation Program is the in-depth study of Scripture and the Lutheran Confessions and the Sacraments for maturing youth. The two-year program starts in the seventh grade year, with the day of Confirmation coming in the fall after the second year.

Confirmation Camp

A one-week summer camp experience is offered each year as part of the Confirmation Program. Central Lutheran Church subsidizes the camp fees for each student the first year. LORMS (Lutheran Outdoor and Retreat Ministry of the Southwest) administers camp facilities in North Texas, Central Texas, and the Hill Country.

First Communion Instruction
