The Christian walks with others of different faith or no faith.  It is important to teach the Christian faith so as to know the truth of God’s Word and to recognize when God’s Word is misused.  It is also necessary to learn God’s Word in order to teach others.  That is the function of our Lutheran Education.  In addition, we teach life survival skills, learning the basics of secular education to assist children in their secondary education.  The Pastor’s role in the Lutheran School is to serve as one to answer the students’ spiritual questions and give guidance to our staff.
