At St. Luke, we believe children experience God best through wonder, storytelling, and play. Our Godly Play program invites children to explore faith in a hands-on, imaginative way—engaging with sacred stories, responding through art and creativity, and developing a sense of spiritual curiosity. Held in a dedicated Godly Play classroom, this interactive approach nurtures children’s relationship with God while fostering a lifelong love of faith. Join us after worship for a time of storytelling, wondering, and joyful discovery!
Our Confirmation Ministry is a meaningful step in faith formation, helping young people explore the intersection of faith and life. Rooted in scripture, Luther’s Small Catechism, service ministry, and interactive discussions, our program equips youth with a deeper understanding of what it means to be a disciple of Christ. This ministry is designed for Grades 7, 8, and 9, though instruction for older youth and adults can be arranged upon request.

The children and youth library originated through a curriculum we used in the interim period before introducing Godly Play, Teaching Cultural Compassion. Still available for families and their children, the curriculum allows our children and youth to encounter secular story books read alongside the text from the lectionary. The design helps them make connections between the world outside the doors of the church while developing a deep faith in Christ.
From the website Teaching Cultural Compassion:
Cultural Compassion refers to the first step of this process. Before we can truly learn and honor about cultures outside our own, we must first learn to see all humans with dignity and respect. Cultural Compassion is the step we can teach our children to allow for their growth into cultural competence.
The vision of Teaching Cultural Compassion is that all children know their worth and the innate dignity of all humans; that they know anyone can be the hero of the story.
The mission of Teaching Cultural Compassion is to give confidence to kids and their adults through recommendations of representative picture books and resources to connect the books to their lives and faith.
