Weekly Meetings
Available to all ages
Every Sunday, 9:45am-10:45am
September - May
*Each age group has an "Anchorage Word", a one word description of the learning at each level.
Exploration
ALC Nursery
“To immerse students in the truth that Jesus loves them”
This is where it all begins. From Baptizing the babies that to giving them a place to grow and learn, the best way to introduce a student to the knowledge and love of Jesus is to have a place they can go where families and baby can explore Faith together.
Pre school-Kindergarten
“To introduce and explore with students in the truth that Jesus loves them”
This is the basic fundamental truth that we as Christians operate on. Their need is to have these truths shared consistently in their lives. This allows for a frame of reference when they begin more in-depth learning.
Foundation
Elementary (1-4 Grade)
“To build a knowledge and familiarity with God's word and His nature. "
This is the transition phase for the learners, where through Bible stories and through the study of Scripture, they will begin to grow in knowledge of God's Faithfulness to them and His nature.
Confirmation (5-8 Grade)
“To build foundational knowledge of the beliefs of the Christian Faith & Lutheran Church.”
Here is the place where kids receive the knowledge and in-depth answers to the fundamental beliefs of their Faith, meaning the 6 chief parts of Doctrine as found in Luther’s catechism. At this age, kids start asking lots of questions. They begin to wonder about the world, their lives, and what is right from wrong.
This time is dedicated to answering those questions and providing them with a fuller picture of Christian beliefs and how to defend their Faith. They begin diving in to become connected with their Father in heaven who they have heard so much about.
Application
HAVEN (9-12 Grade)
“To aid and equip students to live out their faith in everyday life”
This is the time to help students begin take full ownership of their faith. This is the last time they will have at home before they leave to face the world on their own.
It serves to solidify the knowledge they have learned, to prepare the youth to face the challenges of the world, and to give them opportunities to apply what they have learned and live out their faith in Christ.
Youth Praise Team (YPT)
“To aid and equip students to live out their faith in everyday life”
To worship is to recognize, honor, and express the worthiness of God. We believe music is a fundamental part of that worship. Our team encourage any youth who has a passion for sharing the Gospel through music to learn new instruments, lead worship, and grow in Faith through Praise.
Cultivation
KALEO (20's & 30's Bible Study)
“To encourage and build up adults in Faith”
“The Greek word Kaleo means “To call” The goal of Kaleo is to follow Christ's example of calling people out of isolation into a community centered around Faith in Him. 1 Thessalonians 5:9-11 states that because we live in Christ, we are to encourage and build one another up in Faith.
Each week we will spend time being encouraged by God's word through study and discussion, and time building each other up through activities and fellowship.
