Pastor Search Updates Finding the Pastor called to Faith by God Pastor Riordan will be retiring from full time ministry this fall. Read his letter here ​ On Sunday October 13 immediately following the worship service, the suspended call meeting held on September 15 will be reconvened, and a vote will be held to extend a call to one of the other previously presented candidates. The call committee met with Pastor Mitchell and this is an approved course of action. Summaries and service links for both candidates are attached, and the full Self Evaluation Tool (SET) for each is available to view in the church office. Plans for the meeting are to remain in the sanctuary after the closing hymn. Parents with young children can go out into the cafe area and still participate as the meeting will be broadcast through the speakers and screens. The meeting will begin with prayer. Then we will proceed with a motion to vote on the two candidates, discussion, and vote. Plese feel free to contact me, or any member of the call committee, with questions on the men or the process. The call committee appreciates your continuing prayers and support. —Blessings, C all Committee Tom Rafferty , Chair Allegra Carmickle Dana Vogt Jon Hill Judy Clipp Karl Radtke Regina Allman Susan Waltz Pastoral Call Committee Allegra Carmickle Judy Clipp Susan Waltz Dana Vogt Regina Allman Tom Rafferty

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. We value and celebrate each child with unconditional love, care, and support. We welcome children from all races, faiths, and nationalities.

"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.
