RLC values Christian education, for adults and children, and considers it to be an essential part of a healthy equipping ministry. We offer Sunday School opportunities for adults and children from 9:30-10:30 am, September through May and occasionally in the summer.

Adult Bible Study
Sunday School Stories… They’re Not Just For Kids!

Time: 9:30-10:30 am
Place: Fellowship Hall
Dates: September 13-October 11
Leader: Pastor Zach Sarrault

Creation, Noah’s Ark, Jonah and the Whale, Daniel and the Lion’s Den, these are some of the foundational Bible stories we are taught at a young age, then when you hit a certain age you don’t hear them used a whole lot in the church. Why are we taught them as kids Do they still matter to adults?

Join me, and bring your Bible, as we dig a little deeper into some of the “Bible classics” to see what God was doing then and how He still uses these stories today!

Children and Youth Sunday School

Join us for Sunday School from 9:30-10:30 am, September-May! All classes are held in the Family Life Center.

We explore God's Word using a curriculum that is Christ centered, age appropriate, and offers a variety of activities to engage all learners. Teachers and students will read Bible accounts, participate in hands-on activities, play games, and make projects.

• Preschool in Room 132
• Kindergarten-1st Grade in Room 135
• 2nd-3rd Grade in Room 131
• 4th-5th Grade in Room 133

For Middle School (6th-8th Grade) and High School (9th-12th Grade) Youth, this Sunday School format is a combination of praise and worship with an interactive devotional themed focus. The themes will last about 4 weeks and be applicable to approaching
everyday life as a teenager.

There may be opportunities some Sundays to lead younger groups as well. We meet downstairs in Room 151.

TUESDAY Morning

Time: 10:30-11:30 am
Place: Fellowship Hall
Dates: September 8, 2026-May 25, 2027

God gives His Word to instruct, guide, and bless our lives. The Scripture lessons in worship offer a menu every week to build up the people of God in faith and hope.

We will study the lessons for the following Sunday, and as we do, we expect that this Word will enrich and edify our community prayer, faith, and servant life in Christ.

WEDNESDAY EVENING ~ Supper & Scripture

Our Wednesday evening activities include dinner, youth events, adult Christian education classes, Confirmation, and music ministry rehearsals.

Adult Christian Education

Christian Parenting ~ Questions They Ask

Time: 6:00-7:00 pm
Place: Room 240, Family Life Center
Dates: September 9-April 21
Leaders: Pastor Zach Sarrault and Erika Hulse, Children and Family Ministry Director

Our kids ask us a lot of questions. Are we prepared to answer them? When was the last time we actually answered these questions for ourselves? As Christian parents, we want to be ready to answer the faith-filled questions our kids give us, answering them in a way that is faithful to God’s Word.

Who is God? What is the Trinity? When is Jesus coming back? Where is heaven? How do we pray? Why did He allow sin? Join us and bring your own questions as we grow in God’s calling to be Christian parents.

This Is the Church

Time: 6:00-7:00 pm
Dates: September 9-October 7
Location: Room 251, Family Life Center
Leader: Pastor Jonathan Blanke

This class takes a close look at what we believe as Christians. It is a great opportunity for everyone, whether you’re coming from another denomination, new to the Christian faith altogether, or simply want to review the basics of the Christian faith according to the Lutheran tradition.

Bring your Bible; a catechism will be provided.

Men's Ministry ~ A Study of Heroes of the Faith

Time: 7:00-8:00 pm (Fellowship at 6:30 pm)
Place: Room 245, Family Life Center
Dates: September 9-23
Contact Tom Gebbia - Led by Mark Otten

Are you curious about some of the less famous men and women in the Bible? Would you like to learn more about their lives, how they responded to God’s call, and how we can apply these lessons to our lives today? The Men’s group will study and discuss some of these using the Heroes of the Faith Series of studies published by Concordia Publishing House.

We will study one person each week. We will learn about the cultural setting and life story of each person, examine the joys and challenges they faced and see how God forgave and empowered them. We will discuss how these lessons can apply to our lives as Christian men today. This year, we will learn about “quiet” heroes of the faith such as Hannah, Zacchaeus, Dorcas and John Mark.
