We’re opening a new school in Oregon, WI! Our goal is to create an education to “lift up hearts” (sursum corda in Latin). We are looking for families to be a part of the first core group and cohort for the school, as well as patrons who want to provide more opportunities for Christian education for youth.

Hear from our Headmaster, Pastor Jeff Hendrix, who will share the philosophy behind classical education, what it means for students to be free to discover what is true, good, and beautiful, and what motivates us to involve parents in their children’s education. Some general information on the school will be shared as well.

A classically-centered program for children in K-3 will be offered during the presentation. A free meal (sloppy joes and mac & cheese) will be provided!

Interested in the school for your kids? Come and meet some other families.

Join us on Saturday, December 9, 2023, from 4pm-6pm at Faith Lutheran Church for a unique, multi-sensory Christmas family event called “The Miracle of Jesus!”

Your family will step back in time to Bible-times Bethlehem, exploring Jesus’ miraculous love in an interactive marketplace setting.

Kids and adults will be placed in a fully immersive experience where you interact with shopkeepers and discover surprising details about Jesus from Bethlehem characters such as the census taker, the wool trader, and the fisherman. Get ready to build memories as you follow the town map and collect stamps at each station, including “The Bakery,” “The Spice Shop,” and “The Stable.”

During your travels, you will also create adorable keepsakes that will remind you of God’s eternal love and help you grow closer as a family.

At one stop, the stable, you will experience a fun, interactive drama that retells the joy of Jesus’ birth as we join to sing the angels shouting, “Gloria.”

Faith Resolves to Open Sursum Corda Classical School Next Fall

At our Voters’ Meeting on Sept. 24, Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church further resolved to open a Christian, Classical, Hybrid school in Oregon, WI.  

Since last summer, members of the congregation, along with others from the community, have been working to determine what a private school might look like that could serve the Oregon community and surrounding areas.  The answer is taking a space at the church formerly used as a preschool and using it for a school-homeschool hybrid, at least until more room is needed.

The school will be called “Sursum Corda Classical” – a Latin phrase meaning, “Lift up your hearts” and will open officially next Fall.  Initially, Sursum Corda will open with a grammar school cohort (K-3rd grade), adding logic school grades and cohorts (4rd-8th) in future years at a natural pace.  Classical education, which has seen an explosion in interest around the country since the pandemic, aims to hand down both traditional morality and clear thinking through study of grammar, logic, rhetoric, and the best of ancient literature and wisdom.  

The Hybrid model means that classes will be offered in school two days a week, with parents given the tools and resources to teach the rest of the days at home.  In this way, parents are invited to be the primary influencer in their child(ren)’s life, with the professional guidance of the school’s teachers.  

Much work still needs to be done, and help is still needed. The school is looking for business partners and patrons in the community who might like to help sponsor a Christian education for children.  

Questions can be directed to the newly called Headmaster of the School, the Rev. Jeff Hendrix at Pastor@FaithLutheranOregon.com.
