We learn together every day.
At Phinney Ridge Lutheran Church, we believe in life-long learning and formation. You’ll find many opportunities for learning and growing for people of all ages.
We’re growing together in the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Opportunities for Spiritual Growth
Sunday School
Sunday School provides Christian education for children ages 3 through high school each Sunday morning of the school year at 10:00 am.
“Godly Play” is the Montessori-based method for the elementary age children. All classes explore the central and sacred story in Scripture and our participation in the story. Intergenerational events are also held throughout the year.
Adult Forum
Spiritual development is a life-long process! The Forum provides opportunities to study scripture and special topics, and to learn about and discuss a variety of contemporary issues facing Christians today. Adult Forum is offered between worship services each Sunday at 10:00 am (except during summer months).
Children and Family Ministries
At its core, Children and Family Ministry is about young people knowing they are an integral and beloved part of God's family. The goal of Christian formation is not to create churchgoers, but to raise up people who know God loves them, so they might love God's world in return. God’s story is part of each of our stories. We live, hear, proclaim, serve, and strive together to fulfill our baptismal promises.
Bread for the Journey
“BfJ” - as it is often called at our church - is a comprehensive ministry program on Wednesday evenings with choirs for kindergarteners through adults, class for kids, Bible studies, youth group aka “Quench” and one of many weekly opportunities to visit the Food Bank. The core of the evening is spent in a variety of activities for PRLC members and friends designed to contribute to faith formation and development. Bread for the Journey is held in various locations throughout the church building from mid-September through mid-May, with two weeks off over the Christmas break.

The WAY
Asking questions about God, faith, or the Church? Lifelong Christian? Every faith journey is unique. The WAY encourages, challenges and invites a deeper life of faith.
At Phinney Ridge Lutheran Church, The WAY is an opportunity for your faith to be explored, nurtured, and renewed, your commitment to Jesus Christ affirmed, and your walk as a disciple of Christ to be established or re-established in the life-giving waters of Holy Baptism or the Affirmation of Baptism.
Lutheran Counseling Network
By providing psychotherapy to people in need and education for congregations and pastors, Lutheran Counseling Network is an instrument of God’s grace which strengthens and brings healing to individuals, couples and families so that they might in turn be instruments of God’s grace.
We welcome and encourage you to join us as we praise the God who created us, gives us new life in Christ, and is with us through the power of the Holy Spirit.
