Principal's Message
Dear Christ Lutheran Students and Families,
Grace and peace to you from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
Christ is risen, indeed! Alleluia!
As we partner together throughout this year, and in this Easter season celebrate Christ’s victorious resurrection, we remember and thank God who loved us so much that He gave us Jesus, His Son, Who is the Savior and Light of the World. He calls, enlightens, equips, and unites us to proclaim this Good News to all and to share His LOVE, joy, hope, and peace. By His death and resurrection, we have forgiveness, life, and salvation through faith in Him.
Parents, I continue to thank the Lord and you for your partnership and prayers as we seek to support, encourage, and provide your children with a quality, Christ-centered education.

“I thank my God every time I remember you.
