Adult Discipleship / New Member Classes

Adult Discipleship Classes are scheduled several times a year. We will begin a new series of classes on Mondays beginning September 14 through November 30, 2009. Classes are offered at 1:00 pm and 7:15 pm. Free childcare is available for the evening sessions.

The free 11 week class is intended to prepare non-Lutherans for membership in the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod, as well as providing a good review of basic Christian teaching for current members. The class will be taught by the pastors.

Non-members who complete the course will be eligible for membership at St. Pauls, however there is no obligation to join.

Contact the church office at 812-422-5414, or one of the pastors for more information or to register.

Confessions Reading Group


Our Confessions Reading Group meets on Mondays. Pastor Ullman leads the group and we meet at 11:30 a.m. in meeting room 1.

The Lutheran Confessions contained in the Book of Concord (B.O.C.) are the ten statements of faith that Lutherans use as official explanations and summaries of what we believe, teach, and confess. They remain to this day the definitive standard of what Lutheranism is. The ten documents are: the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed, the Athanasian Creed, the Augsburg Confession, the Apology [Defense] of the Augsburg Confession, the Smalcald Articles, the Treatise on the Power and Primacy of the Pope, the Small Catechism, the Large Catechism, and the Formula of Concord.

In May we are beginning our study of Luther's Large Catechism.

For more info, or to order your copy of the Book of Concord (either hard copy or on DVD) contact Sylvia in the church office at 812-422-5414.

It's Time - LCMS Unity and Mission


In response to the LCMS' Blue Ribbon Task Force on Synod Structure and Governance., Rev. Matthew Harrison wrote "IT'S TIME - LCMS Unity and Mission" as an alternative rooted in theology rather than structure, trusting in the gospel rather than the law to bring about positive change in the Lord's church. Rev. Harrison is executive director of LCMS World Relief and Human Care.

Rev. Harrison also recorded an audio version of IT'S TIME.

It is available for listening by clicking here.
