Thanks to our donors, we have been able to support children and their families financially to allow for a positive Christian learning experience at Faith Lutheran. We do encourage our scholars to have great attendance and participation in both the Church and the School. All interested scholars and their families must also apply for ccdf vouchers if eligible beginning in the 2024-2025 school year.

About Credo We believe that Christian education is a vital aspect of God's mission to the church through the Great Commission of Jesus Christ. (Matthew 28:18-20) We believe that it is our Christian responsibility to teach the gospel and to reach out to all people, churched and unchurched. (Colossians 3:16-18) We believe that the Christian teacher has a key opportunity to be used by God to bring spiritual rebirth to a child and perhaps an entire family. We believe that this can be accomplished by teaching the child Christian principles. (Matthew 19:14) We believe that effective education occurs through quality innovative learning programs that relate the Christian faith to every aspect of life. (Ephesians 6:4) We believe that it is the responsibility of the Christian educator to evangelize churched and unchurched preschool children and their families because the family has much influence on a child's total education. The church and the school must equip families for their important role in Christian education. (Proverbs 22:6) ​ Mission Faith Lutheran Preschool & Extended Care exist to promote Christian Education as a vital aspect of God's Great Commission to reach people with the message of Jesus Christ. Vision Our Preschool and Extended Care exists as a ministry of Faith Lutheran Church to the children and parents of the congregation and the community.

"Faith is a beautiful church and school with a nice, fenced-in playground and brand new fellowship hall. Faith has highly skilled and caring staff. If you're looking for a small, Christian school on the West side of Columbus, Indiana, this is the place to be. While at Faith, my child has made lifelong connections with classmates, church members, teachers, and extended care staff. We feel like Faith is our extended family and are blessed to have spent her first educational experiences with this program. We have enjoyed community events including: Pumpkin Patch Field Trip, Firefighter Visit, Thanksgiving Dinner, Valentine's Day Ball, and Trike-a-Thon to name a few. Faith is a special place to be and we are grateful for our experiences here." Chrissy A., Preschool Parent "We couldn't have asked for more highly skilled, caring teachers! Their love of learning brings lessons to life with hands-on activities, field trips, live science demonstrations, and many other actvities and celebrations." Molly W., Preschool Parent "Faith has provided a safe and welcoming environment for my child to learn and grow." D.M., Extended Care Parent "Faith has helped our child grow intellectually, socially, and spiritually. She has met new friends. She has been exposed to enriching activities to help her learn more pre-k readiness concepts.
