Why choose LIFE?
Mission
LIFE! Lutheran School serves families by providing a quality Christian education for their children to help prepare them for life and for joyfully sharing the love of Jesus Christ.
How can LIFE offer education that is both "high quality" and "affordable"?
LIFE has been supported financially by four churches as well as many individuals and families for thirty years. These churches and individuals contribute to LIFE School out of a commitment to their Lord, Jesus. In essence, they have said, “Here is part of the means, now tell families about God’s love for them as you give their children a quality education.”
Are only Lutherans eligible?
No. We accept members of other churches and also children whose families do not attend church. This is one of the purposes for maintaining Lutheran schools; Sharing the story of Jesus with families who come to us for a superior education.
