Classroom Bible learning is more than just memorizing facts—it is helping students connect with God’s Word in a way that strengthens their faith and deepens their understanding. Beyond the core aspects of lesson plans, teachers can incorporate interactive activities to reinforce biblical learning and help students apply their faith in everyday life. Enduring Faith Religion Curriculum was developed with this goal in mind, providing an aligned, Christ-centered approach that engages students at every level. Here are five adaptable activities that bring lessons to life and boost biblical knowledge in class!

As another school year comes to a close, many Lutheran schools are already starting to order curriculum for next year. This year, we’re excited to offer the all-new Enduring Faith Religion Curriculum. Use this post as a quick reference guide to work through some of the key features of the new curriculum.

How can technology further the mission of a Christian school? Digital tools are part of the landscape, so here are some observations of how they might be best used in the classroom. 

In my last blog, I wrote about how grace drives excellence. Particularly, I pointed out the importance for the Lutheran educator to strive toward excellence in his craft of teaching. I would like to continue with that theme as we consider that while the Lutheran educator strives for excellence as a response to the grace received by God, such excellence is impossible outside of a community.

The Lutheran school system is a strange place, theologically speaking. It stands in the gap between a world of rules and a world of forgiveness. Following the scriptural insights of Martin Luther, we understand that God governs our culture according to what are traditionally referred to as the two kingdoms.
