No matter how young or old you may be,
there is a place for YOUR faith formation at Shells Lutheran Church.
Children/Youth Sunday School
From September through May the children are welcome to join faith formation classes on Sundays at 9am. Through bible readings, skits, crafts, and much more, participants are taught the basics of the Christian tradition through a Lutheran lens.
Since Children's Sunday School occurs simultaneously with Sunday Worship, participants join the congregation at the Offertory to celebrate the Eucharist. On the first Sunday of the month participants will assist with leading Worship.
