Mission Statement 
Our mission as a part of the total ministry of St. Michael’s Lutheran Church is to serve families of the church, school, and community who desire Christ-centered care for their children. It is our intent to work in partnership with parents who have the primary and most critical role in the nurturing of their children. Our goal is to provide a safe, caring, educational, and uniquely Christian environment for children in which they can grow and experience the love of Jesus.
