About Us
Trinity Lutheran ChurchSchool is a very special place. As a school ministry, we hold up the values of Christ, Curriculum, Character, and Community.
First and foremost, our school is a special place because we strive to keep Jesus Christ at the center of all things. Our Savior is in the middle of our daily instruction. Christ is at the center of our relationships as well. Jesus in the center means that our students learn how to express their sorrow over their sin, and then have the blessing of rejoicing in the wonderful forgiveness that is ours in Christ.
A strong academic program is offered to students so that they can succeed in life. We also believe and teach that students with strong Christian character will be the leaders that are needed for the future of our nation, our churches, and our families.
Finally, we nurture in our students a belief that they can change their community and the world for the better.
We would welcome the opportunity to tell you more about the blessings of Lutheran Education. Please give us a call 563-322-5224 to set up a time to meet.
