We need lots of painters, cleaners, and movers.

Call Paul Miller to let us know when you’re coming and

It may look like painting, cleaning, and moving,
but it’s really MISSION WORK!


 Unity Lutheran Christian Elementary School is a mission project of the Southern Illinois District of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod. Our doors opened for the very first day of classes on August 19, 2003. On that day, three students were in attendance for our first two classes.
 
  Since then, God has blessed our school in many amazing ways:
  • We have added five more classes, up to Grade Five, and enrollment is now
    88 students.
  • Seven highly-qualified, mission-minded educators have joined our staff.
  • The parents of our students have caught the vision of our school and are
    excited and involved.
  • Hundreds of mission-minded Christians from across the United States have
    shown their support through our Belong To Jesus Scholarship Fund.
  • The congregations and schools of the Southern Illinois District have provided
    continual support and encouragement.

In the midst of these exciting developments, the mission to our students remains the
focus of our efforts. God’s desire for our school is that we teach the children about the love of God expressed in the life, death, and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ!

A Prayer For Today

Morning

Faithful God, whose mercies are new to us every morning, we humbly pray that You would look upon us in mercy and renew us by Your Holy Spirit. Keep safe our going out and our coming in, and let Your blessing remain with us throughout this day. Preserve us in Your righteousness, and grant us a portion in that eternal life which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord. Amen.
