Walther Lutheran High School
Melrose Park, Illinois
The purpose of Walther Lutheran High School is to provide opportunities for Christians to grow in understanding God’s grace and its implications for their lives and for those who do not yet know Christ, to come to know Him as their personal Savior. This school will provide a Christian atmosphere where young people can better see God’s plan of salvation for mankind, grow in faith through the study of God’s Word, witness for Christ Jesus and worship the one true God as they receive a quality high school education. These opportunities are provided to one another through God’s Word. This Lutheran High School will help young people become aware of the physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual qualities necessary to deal with the joys and problems of the world as they become adults in their communities.
