A truly confessional Lutheran Church
realizes the importance of Christian Education. Therefore, many congregations
of the CLC provide a Christian elementary education for their school-aged
students. All CLC congregations join together to support a high school,
college and seminary in Eau Claire, Wisconsin -- Immanuel Lutheran High
School, College and Seminary (ILC). |

THE
PURPOSE OF OUR SCHOOLS
"Train up a child in the way
he should go; and when he is old,
he will not depart from it."
Proverbs
22:6
|
 |
WE BELIEVE that the Lutheran school
is a proper response to God's concern for the Christian education of children.
God leaves no doubt about His expectations in Christian education.
Both in commands and in promises He expresses His earnest concern for the
Christian upbringing of children.
God's Command:
"Bring up your children in the training and instruction
of the Lord" (Eph 6:4).
How we are to do this?
"Teach them (God's words) diligently to your
children" (Deut 4:7).
Why are we to do this?
"That
they may place their hope in God" (Psalm 78:7).
We believe so strongly in the importance
of Christian Education that our members and congregations have worked,
prayed and sacrificed to establish and maintain our elementary and secondary
schools. |
Our Elementary Schools
Many of our congregations
provide a Christian elementary education for their students. Teachers
and volunteers are committed to providing a quality education, integrating
our Christian beliefs into all aspects of their education.
We are blessed
to see these students continue on to high school, college, and careers
living the faith they have been taught -- and becoming productive citizens
of their congregations and communities. |
Immanuel Lutheran
High School, College & Seminary
Many
CLC students continue their Christian education on a campus supported and
maintained by all CLC congregations. A Lutheran High School, College, and
Seminary all share space on a beautifully wooded 70+ acre campus in Eau
Claire, Wisconsin (visit
website). Immanuel Lutheran Church
in Mankato, MN also provides a Christian high school education for local
students (visit
website).
These schools
confess and teach the same pure doctrine and maintain the same high standard
of education shared by all CLC congregations.
Graduates have
become pastors, teachers and committed laypeople -- productive
citizens of their congregations and their communities. |
