Ministries
We have come to know Jesus as the One who came to lovingly serve us by giving his life for us.
He is in the process of teaching how to love him and one another by ministering (serving).
God says in Ephesians that
"We are God's workmanship created to do good deeds which He has
prepared in advance for us to do."
When we are serving as God designed us, then we are discovering how rich
a well-lived life can be and we rejoice in being able to bring even more recognition to Him.
We are learning that volunteering not only affects those we serve, it can also be a life-changing
experience for us! We invite you to experience our great adventure with us!

Ministries to Children, Youth, and Families
Sunday School open to any child
Our trained teachers lovingly communicate the truths of many Bible stories through lessons,
crafts, and interactive methods in graded classes from tiny tots to 8th grade.
Led by the guitar, each week they join together in joyfully singing Christian songs.
This is a wonderful way to connect our children with the ancient biblical persons such as Adam,
Eve, Abraham, Moses, David, and especially Jesus. There is no charge for these lessons.
Feel free to attend with your child. Every Sunday at 9:15.

Free Baptisms (for any child or adult who requests it)
There is no charge for a baptism at Christ Lutheran. This is part of our ongoing ministry to
our members, their families, and to our community. We pray that God would use this special
event to strengthen your own faith and your appreciation of his grace. Learn more about
Baptisms at Christ Lutheran by visiting this page:

Ministries for Adults
Sunday Morning Bible Class
Each Sunday our Pastor leads us in a careful look at God's word, both to learn what it
says and also how to apply it to our lives, usually with some well-crafted questions that
get a healthy response from the class! These studies range quite widely, from verse by
verse studies to current events in the light of Scripture. Anyone who wishes to join in is welcome.
Bible Information Class (BIC)
Pastor Lehmann is always ready to share what God's word teaches about the basic truths and
practices of our faith. The BIC is a great way to learn about Lutheranism in a relaxed atmosphere.
We encourage anyone who is interested in membership to experience this class. Classes are usually
arranged in consultation with participants to work best with their schedules.
Contact Pastor Lehmann.

Other Ministries
World-wide Mission Support
We are aware that there are millions who do not yet know the wonder of God's love in Jesus.
We are doing as much as we can in our local area, but realize that we cannot cover the rest
of the world by ourselves. So we eagerly and substantially support missionaries and mission
congregations throughout North America and the entire world. In order to do this efficiently,
we have joined with more than 1200 other congregations in the
WELS,
a church body that is dedicated to doing all it can to bring Jesus to our world.

Christ New Focus Committee
Since its founding in the Fall of 2013, the Christ New Focus Committee has been working to refocus
our ministry to better satisfy the mission that God has laid out for us, and to ensure that we have
the stability to serve our Lord, ourselves, and our neighbors now and into the future. The committee
has embarked on a number of initiatives to promote congregational and community involvement, through
midweek Bible studies, periodic hymn sings, and even a sketching and drawing club; to stay in better
contact with our membership through the work of our board of elders and semi-annual open forums; to
create a better welcoming environment for our visitors through improved greeter awareness and narthex
furniture upgrades; to increase our use of electronic media and church management software, and to
work toward fostering a strong financial posture through regular and concise reporting, and enhanced
stewardship awareness.
