Opportunities to
Learn and Grow


​Christ Lutheran Church offers a wide variety of opportunities for involvement and growth in the Christian life. 

Because we believe so strongly in coming together for the better, many of our programs are offered in collaboration with other churches, community organizations, and like-minded individuals. As part of the Body of Christ in the world, we are able to expand our reach to improve the quality of our life together and strengthen our communities locally, regionally, and globally.

Education at
​Christ Lutheran Church

We are never too young and never too old to learn more about life with God. Grounded in the Bible and the Lutheran tradition, we are also eager to learn from others’ journeys of faith. ​
  • Sunday school for children begins at approximately 9:45 a.m. following the Children’s Sermon that takes place near the beginning of worship. After time together learning Bible stories through crafts, storytelling, and play, the children join their families prior to the Sacrament of Holy Communion.
  • On occasion, Adult Forums follow Sunday worship service as indicated on the monthly calendar.
  • Women's Bible Study at 12:15 p.m. on the 1st, 3rd, and 4th Mondays of each month. After completing the "Bad Girls of the Bible" book series, this group of women chose to read straight through the entire Bible from beginning to end. If you want to be more confident in your understanding of the people, places, and promises of the Bible, this small group is for you. Women of all ages and all biblical backgrounds are welcome to attend this very engaging Bible study. 
  • Women of the ELCA meetings and study at 1:30 p.m. on the 2nd Tuesday of each month.
  • Wednesday Bible Study at 1:30 p.m.

Putting Faith Into
​Action Through Service

  • Christ’s Kitchen - Helping out those who have “more month than money,” Christ Lutheran Church members host a free community dinner from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. the last Wednesday and Thursday of each month. The entire community is invited with no questions asked or qualifications needed and all guests are served at their tables as it would be in a restaurant-style setting. As this is a family-friendly affair, we also provide highchairs and booster seats for your children.
  • Red Wagon Sunday - On the third Sunday of each month during the regular offering, children use little "Radio Flyer" wagons to fill with pocket change gathered from the congregation. All of the offerings are then donated to Lutheran World Relief and to the local food pantries.
  • Local Food Pantries - Christ Lutheran Church members regularly donate service time, food items, and cash to the Libby and Troy food pantries.
  • Habitat for Humanity - Christ Lutheran Church is a Habitat Covenant Partner Congregation and was instrumental in founding the Kootenai Valley Partners chapter in Lincoln County. Several members of the congregation help with fundraising, logistical support, and the construction of Habitat homes.
  • Servant Trips - Each year a group of men, women, and/or youth from our congregation unselfishly give their time and resources to serve those in need. For youth, it can especially be an experience which gives shape to their understanding of the world at this transitional point in their lives.
  • Quilts, Care Kits, and More - Quilts and blankets; military and college care packages; relief and school supply kits; and kits of healthcare essentials for infants and babies are collected, prepared, and then distributed or shipped several times during the year.
