Adult Discipleship Classes are scheduled several times a year. The 12 week class is intended to prepare non-Lutherans for membership in the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod, as well as providing a good review of basic Christian teaching for current members. The class will be taught by the pastors.

Non-members who complete the course will be eligible for membership at St. Pauls, however there is no obligation to join.

New classes begin September 8. Depending on the level of interest, afternoon and/or evening class will be offered. Free childcare will be offered during the evening sessions.

Contact the church office at 812-422-5414, or one of the pastors for more information or to register.
