Student Leadership in Lutheran Schools
In Lutheran schools, students are given meaningful opportunities to take on leadership roles and share their faith.
At the elementary level, seventh and eighth-grade students often help lead their Faith Families. These student leaders may read and discuss Bible passages, demonstrate activities, guide younger students, and offer support to their peers. At the high school level, seniors can apply to serve as Faith Family leaders. With more responsibility and freedom to guide discussions and activities, they help shape the spiritual tone of their groups. These leadership roles foster responsibility, confidence, and a deeper understanding of what it means to live out their faith.
Many Lutheran schools also invite each class to lead a chapel service. As a group, students choose the message they want to share, select songs, and often include a hands-on or creative element, such as a skit, to bring their message to life. Leading chapel not only strengthens students’ faith but also allows them to joyfully share it with the entire school.
Lutheran schools foster Christian leadership and active participation, guiding students on a lifelong path of faith formation and Church engagement.
