Religion
Dallas Lutheran School's Theology Department strives to do more than teach students the cognitive information that allows them to make educated decisions. We strive to reach out to the students with the love of Christ and help them understand their place in God's creation. Students daily discuss the most important issues of life in an environment where the forgiveness and sacrificial love of their Savior is first and foremost. Students are prayed for, prayed with, and have the opportunity to grow their spiritual side as well as the other scholastic subjects.
