"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” - Ephesians 2:8-10

Welcome to St. Paul's Lutheran School. 
Our teachers, staff, principal and pastors are thankful for each and every one of our students; we are proud of their academic diligence, integrity and dedication.  Our students and their families make up the fabric of our school, and the involved collaboration between families and staff keeps our school vibrant, current and successful.  

Our mission is to strengthen the saved by equipping students to serve their neighbor and seek the lost.

St. Paul’s Lutheran Church and School works to achieve our mission by weaving the fabric of our school with the strong thread of Christian faith and biblical values that is foundational to our decisions and planning.  As members of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS) and Lutheran Elementary School Association, we lift high the belief in Faith Alone, Scripture Alone and Grace Alone.

Developing Caring Servant Leaders

St. Paul's Lutheran School is committed to developing caring servant leaders by equipping its students with an excellent academic and spiritual foundation for life, through a Biblical worldview that always places Christ at the center. 

PURPOSE Statement

St. Paul's Lutheran School exists to assist parents in carrying out their responsibility of teaching, equipping, and nurturing their children. The school will serve in ministry by sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the students, school families, the congregation and the community, in accord with its core values. St. Paul's Lutheran School will develop and extend programs that nurture students, inform parents, and support families. The school will provide:

• an engaging environment that challenges each student to discover, develop, and demonstrate his or her God-given potential—spiritually, academically, physically, emotionally, aesthetically, and socially;

• resources and opportunities to enhance communication with parents and disseminate information;

• a well-trained, supportive, and accountable faculty and staff who, trusting in God’s care, seek to grow in love for those they serve, strive for excellence in their skills, and adorn the Gospel of Jesus Christ with a godly life;

• opportunities for families to socialize and interact;

• facilities that are flexible and accessible to support and encourage all school programs and serve as a positive witness to Christ's presence in our community.
