Nursery is available from 8:45 - 11:45 a.m. each Sunday morning. 

Sunday School (Preschool - 5th Grade)

Faith formation in Sunday school starts in pre-school and continues until 5th grade.Weekly Sunday school meets 9:45 - 10:25 a.m. between services and follow the the public school calendar.  Class activities include Bible stories, singing, crafts and games. 

Bibles are given in the third grade.  Formal communion classes are provided in the spring of fifth grade, although younger ages may commune with Pastor instruction.

What’s new starting Fall, 2011? Rachael Kresha, our new organist, will be offering 15 minutes of “music and motion” for children of all ages. Rachael has enthusiasm and experience working with groups of children of mixed ages and knows how to engage them with singing, rhythm instruments, and movement.

 What’s old? We will begin with snacks, move to hands-on crafts, then to the Bible story for the day, corresponding to our worship lectionary. In addition, age-appropriate Spark materials to enhance each week’s lessons will be sent home. We will also continue with the Take Five bookmark.


Confirmation  (6th - 9th Grade)

Concordia's students begin confirmation when they enter sixth grade. Confirmation takes place on Reformation Sunday (the last Sunday in October) during students' ninth grade year.  You will need to have Adobe Acrobat installed to view.

The Mighty CLUCS (Concordia LUtheran Community Softball )

Our church softball league plays during the summer months to promote fellowship and health in a relaxed recreational atmosphere.  No experience is necessary. This is a family league for ages 12 and older.  The only requirement is the desire to have fun.   The games are played on Tuesdays at UMD in a summer church league.
