Christ Lutheran Church & School

Christ Lutheran is recognized for the quality of its educational program and its strong caring staff. Our goal is to help your child develop skills, knowledge, and values that will remain for life.
Because of what God has done for us, we care about what children are taught. We want children to know how God, through His Word, helps us to see all subjects – all of life – as a response to His love for us. Therefore, we give special attention to positive, Christian, caring values which are modeled by teachers and reinforced by parents, and practiced by peers.

Accredited School
Christ Lutheran School is accredited by the National Lutheran School Commission and the Western Association of Schools & Colleges.

Counseling has been a ministry of Christ Lutheran Church & School for the past four years. Children may be referred by parents, teachers or the principal (with parental consent) for thirty minute confidential sessions. Each family makes financial arrangements on a sliding scale with the counselor.

We have a fully equipped computer lab headed by an experienced computer teacher. Computers are also available to students in every classroom.
