Our Teachers: The faculty of Immanuel Lutheran is both certified by the State of Michigan and the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod. We believe that Christian education extends beyond the curriculum. Christian education is provided through interaction between students and Christian teachers and other significant adults who interact daily with the students. Our Curriculum: The curriculum at Immanuel offers a complete education for all students in preschool through 8th grade. Following our motto "We teach Christ in all things" our teachers use the Bible as a point of focus in every subject. All core subjects are taught in light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Religious instruction takes place daily except for Wednesday, when all students and faculty members worship together in chapel with family and friends. Music, art, physical education band, robotics and technology classes are also taught with Christ as the focal point in the instruction. Assemblies, outdoor education, and field trips are also scheduled by the teachers to enhance and broaden the scope of our instructional program.

Jesus commands us in Matthew 28:19-20 “Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I will be with you always, to the very end of the age.” |
