We Grow in Faith…
Here at St. Jacob’s, all of us are constantly in the process of growing in faith. There is no graduation from this lifelong walk with Jesus Christ! The Holy Spirit will always be working in each of us.
Faith formation can take the form of studying the Bible, serving someone dinner, learning how to live generously, exploring theology, or simply having a good conversation, among many other things. Our goal is to teach and practice the Christian faith in as many ways as possible.
At Home
Did you know that the best and most important place to grow in faith and pass it on to our children is at home? Martin Luther taught that parents were like “bishops of a household.” He wrote the Small Catechism specifically for parents to instruct their children. While we feel it is also very important for experienced teachers to provide instruction, it all starts with what happens at home. You don’t have to be an “expert.” What’s important is bringing faith practices into everyday life, like praying before meals, collecting items for those in need, and setting an example for our children.
On Sunday: Sunday School
Sunday School classes are offered periodically on Sunday mornings an hour before the worship service. Topics and dates will be announced ahead of time.
All the Time: Service to Our Neighbors
St. Jacob’s actively supports and participates in service and mission projects at the local, state, and national levels. Opportunities to join in these efforts are shared regularly during worship and through our other communication channels.
