assimilate those who desire to know more
about Christianity and the Lutheran
beliefs. It is very important class
for those who are interested
in becoming members of
Christ Lutheran Church.
Communicant membership

and acceptance of the Christian
faith as set forth in the Scriptures and
the Lutheran Confessions. It is also a
willing commitment to the body of believers
and the governing policies at Christ Lutheran
Church. The topics covered in the class are:
Salvation, Baptism, Lord’s Supper, and the DNA of
Christ Lutheran Church.
Maturity Class
This is the second of Christ Lutheran’s “Development Classes.” It is designed to help the members recognize the four basic habits, Reading the Bible, Prayer, Giving, and Fellowship, that are necessary for every Christian in order to grow in spiritual maturity (Ephesians 4:13). The focus will be on equipping you with the skills you need to begin these habits and the tools you need to continue these habits. Spiritual Maturity is not automatic. It is a lifelong process and it takes discipline (1 Timothy 4:7).
Ministry Class

- H is for Heart and the special passions God has given you to glorify Him on earth.
- A is for Abilities, those set of talents God gave you at birth, and He wants you to use to make an impact.
- P is for Personality, the way God hard-wired you to see life and live your life.
- E is for Experiences, those parts of your past, both positive and painful, which God uses to teach us and develop us as His children.
- D is for Developing, the ongoing process of growth and development as the above 5 areas interact with our lives each day and in each situation.
