Christian Studies: Better Together

Christian Studies matters. It is a defining learning area in Lutheran education, and strengthening it is shared, collaborative, and deliberate work.

In 2026, our focus is on connection. We want to celebrate what is working well in your classrooms and identify opportunities to grow that success together.

Our goal is to work alongside you to ensure Christian Studies remains purposeful, pedagogically strong and grounded in Free to Flourish.

As Education Leader, I work in intentional partnership with each learning community, providing support that is contextual, responsive and shaped by your local vision.

Professional learning builds confidence and grows practice. This year’s professional learning opportunities, accreditation pathways, leader support and more are outlined in the 2026 Christian Studies Professional Learning Guide.
