Lord of Life Lutheran Church welcomes children and their families! Children are welcome to attend all Lord of Life worship services. We have age-graded classes during our Faith Formation time on Sunday mornings, music activities on Wednesday evenings, and milestone activities for each grade throughout the year. We also offer fun family activities (including Parents’ Nights Out!), family camps, and Vacation Bible School at the start of the summer. If you have any questions about specific programs for your child, please contact our Director of Children’s Faith Formation.

Footsteps in Faith
Footsteps in Faith is a program at Lord of Life that provides opportunities and tools for children to deepen their faith and for parents to renew their commitment to faith education and their church community. Kids complete faith journey milestones that entail attending special learning events and receiving congregational recognition and blessings. Footsteps in Faith events are for kids through grade 6 and take place at various times throughout the year. As the date of each milestone class approaches, additional information will be emailed to families. Contact Nicole to receive Footsteps in Faith emails.
Here are the Footsteps in Faith dates for the 2025–2026 school year. Except for the Club 56 lock-in, all Footsteps activities take place on a Sunday.
