On behalf of all the men, women and children of Shalom I offer you greetings!
Shalom has close to 700 baptized members and growing.

In 2009, Shalom Lutheran achieved some important milestones by adding on a beautiful new Sunday school and office addition and a successful pre-school with classes on M/W/F for 4 & 5year olds and T/Th for 3 & 4 year olds. Because of its success more classes are being added. Please call the church for more information – ask for Diane Myer.

Some people may ask: “What is a Lutheran?” We are Christians who trust in Jesus Christ as our Savior. Lutheran teachings are founded on the church’s understanding of the Bible and the Confessions of the Church. Basically, Lutheranism teaches that a person is saved only by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ.

How do we worship? The Bible is the basis for our worship. We are a liturgical church, which means we retain forms of the Mass, but renewed emphasis is placed on the preaching of God’s Word. We celebrate two sacraments. The first is Baptism, which is the death to sin found in us and a rebirth into a holy life in Jesus Christ. We become a child of God. The second sacrament is The Lord’s Supper or Holy Communion which we encounter God in Jesus Christ directly in the bread and wine and God’s Word. Christ comes among us to forgive our sins and to help us strengthen our faith.

Simply, being a Lutheran means being a vital member in the body of Christ. As Jesus said, “If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” – John 8:31-32.

We do have an un-staffed Nursery where your child can fuss or play and you are still able to view and listen to the service.

I hope you come and visit us. We love new faces!

Sincerely yours,

Parents and students are invited to an open house Tuesday evening at 7:00pm for the Tuesday/Thursday class and Wednesday for the MWF class. (Yes, snacks will be provided both nights!)

Classes will resume for the T/Th class on Thursday, January 19th and the M/W/F class on Friday, January 20th.

Shalom Lutheran Preschool is accepting registrations for the 2012-2013 school year. We will be offering a T/Th class for children who are 3 or 4 and will have another year of preschool before going to Kindergarten. The other class is on M/W/F for 4 & 5 year olds who will be entering kindergarten the next fall. Classes are from 9:00-11:30 am. We will once again offer extended care before preschool from 7:30-9:00 to help alleviate some transportation issues. Registration forms are in the back of our brochures and are available in the gathering area, the preschool area or the church office. If you have any questions please contact the office at shalomedu@iw.net or 767-5382.
