US Spiritual
Our student's spiritual growth is our number one priority. We encourage them to incorporate the
message of Jesus salvation in their daily lives – whether this be through their class work, the arts,
athletics and while at work and at home.
Chapel
Chapel is the highlight of the week. Students gather once a week as a community to hear the Word
of God, sing songs and hymns of praise and listen to messages of salvation and hope in Jesus Christ.
Messages are aimed at meeting the student body where they are in their own lives. A variety of speakers
and musicians are used during chapel including student groups, staff members, local pastors and
individuals connected to our community.
Theology
The Baltimore Lutheran School Religion Department has two basic objectives:
- First and foremost, to facilitate the development and growth of a personal faith in, and
relationship with, Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior- which would manifest itself in a living out
and an expressing of that faith in daily life. This objective cannot be graded or tested in the
classroom and is a matter completely between the student and God.
- Second, to teach the necessary spiritual tools as a basis for accomplishing the first goal,
namely: Bible literacy, doctrinal understanding, historical perspective and Christian life skills.
This is accomplished through a rigorous, scholastic program that demands personal responsibility
and independence. This objective is evaluated and graded using the same criteria as the other
disciplines at Baltimore Lutheran School.
