Faith Steps is Hope Lutheran Church's version of Sunday School. It's a place of Christian education for students three years through 4th grade.
Register for TOT Faith Steps
TOT Faith Steps is a little education program for little people who are two years old as of of September 1, 2007. Stop by the Children's Ministry office to register.
TOT, designed for children 2 years old ( as of
Sept. 1 of each year), is based on the belief that young children will
readily accept that which is within the realm of their interests and
abilities, and is presented simply, concisely, and with a great deal of
repetition. God loves us and it makes Him happy when we share, help,
and love one another. Tots are capable of absorbing these basic ideas
through the use of finger plays, songs, pictures and activities. While
some experts question the capability of this age group to understand
ideas, such as sharing, we believe in planting seeds of Christian
concepts early so that they may grow and mature, as the child grows and
matures.
TOT has three main themes. Each theme is presented concisely, simply, and with a great deal of repetition.
God Loves Us
God is our "Heavenly Father" and our "Father in Heaven." He loves us so much that He created the world and everything in it just for us. We recognize creation as God's work and respond with thankfulness.

Jesus Loves Us

We Love Because He Loves Us
We are able to love because God loves us. God wants us to love Him and to love others. He gave us skills which can be used to help others. We can show our love for Him in everything we do.

Child Safe Practices
God has given us a great responsibility to care for our children! The creation of a safe, secure environment for our children is of utmost importance (Matthew 18:1-6). Faith Steps (Sunday School) enrollment continues to grow. In 2006 we had just over 1,200 students (TOT – 4th grade) enrolled in Faith Steps with over 150 adults and young adults teaching these young people each week. It is impossible for every volunteer to know every parent (guardian) who’s in attendance at church every Sunday, Wednesday or Friday. For these reasons child safe practices are in place at Hope Lutheran Church.
All parents (guardians) of all children (ages TOT – 2nd grade) are required to check-in and check-out their children from their Faith Steps classes each week. We are using a two-tag system using photo identification cards.
Children in the 3rd grade and above may be released without parent pick-up if a release from is signed at registration time.
The intent of these safe practices is for the safety and well-being of the families and the children God has entrusted to our care.
