Message from Miss Tasha-

I am excited to share that on April 22nd at St. John's in Orange from 9a-8p our Jr. High Youth (6, 7, 8th grade only) are invited to a special event called YOUTHX! 

This is a full-day experience with worship, speakers, service, games, competitions, and more! The theme focuses on how "faith in Jesus shapes your identity as a teenager." This event will be a great opportunity for our youth to connect with other youth groups and churches in the Pacific Southwest District. 

Each ticket is only $25 and includes lunch, dinner, and an event T-shirt! You can explore the event and register directly from the YOUTHX website https://youthxoc.com

When you register your student, please enter the church name as: Christ Lutheran RPV.

After you register, please send me an email so that I can keep track of all who sign-up and coordinate our transportation. 

I pray that we can get as many of our Jr. High students signed up for this awesome event as possible! If you have any questions, feel free to email me [email protected]

P.S. The first 100 people to sign-up before March 22nd will receive a FREE premium event t-shirt!

Principal's Message

Dear Christ Lutheran Students and Families,
Grace and peace to you from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

 As we partner together throughout this year, have journeyed together through Lent, and now prepare with hope and anticipation to celebrate Christ’s victorious resurrection on Easter, we remember and thank God who loved us so much that He gave us Jesus, His Son, Who is the Savior and Light of the World. He calls, enlightens, equips, and unites us to proclaim this Good News to all and to share His LOVE, joy, hope, and peace. By His death and resurrection, we have forgiveness, life, and salvation through faith in Him.

Parents, I continue to thank the Lord and you for your partnership and prayers as we seek to support, encourage, and provide your children with a quality, Christ-centered education!
