FAITH FORMATION
Christ Greenfield School is not a stand alone Christian school serving an individual context. Christ Greenfield School is a ministry of Christ Greenfield Church, a congregation of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. You may be asking, what does this mean? In short, it means that the identity and foundations our school are tethered to church body that dates back over 500 years. Furthermore, Christ Greenfield, along with over 2,000 other LC-MS schools, provide high-quality, Christ-centered education to children of all ages both nationally and internationally. ​​​​
