Christian Education
When we study the Bible and pray, we are drawn more deeply into God’s own saving story, a story that continues today!
We believe that Christian education and growth should be a lifelong endeavor–not just one reserved for the kids. We invite all adults to join us in the journey to enrich our ongoing Christian education by attending one or all of our adult education programs. Feel free to drop in any time and no prior Bible experience is required!
Education Opportunities for Adults
Adult forums from time to time on various topics. Check schedule for details.
Midweek Lectionary Bible Study
Every Wednesday at 1:30 PM in the Fellowship Hall conference room.
Children and Youth
Sunday School: Age 3 – 5th Grade
Sunday School for children is at 10:30 AM each Sunday, September through May. Children can be dropped off in the Fellowship Hall and picked up at the same place at 11 AM. Students experience God through music, loving teachers, and a Bible-based, age-appropriate curriculum designed just for them!
Explore Communion Classes: All Ages
During this class, we explore the meaning and history of communion, what it means to forgive and be forgiven, and what happens when we share this special meal each Sunday. This is an hour and half class and we offer it at least once a year. You can use it as a stepping stone in preparation for a first communion or as further education for someone who is already taking communion. This class is family friendly. Talk to Pr CJ for more information.
Confirmation: 6th – 8th Grade
In the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), confirmation ministry aims to help a student identify more deeply with the Christian community and participate more fully in its mission. Faith’s confirmation program is for students in the 6th-8th grades with a confirmation ceremony in 9th grade. Classes are typicaly held once per month on a Sunday afternoon at Faith or one of our partner congregations in Falls Church or Alexandria. There are also periodic weekend retreats, service projects and more!
