Electives - Physical Education

The goal of the Faith Lutheran Physical Education Department is to equip students for lifelong fitness and health by establishing and implementing good life habits: regular exercise, and daily, heart healthy nutrition. We combine typical the P.E. aspects of physical, mental, social and emotional well-being, with a spiritual component, teaching the value of health, well being and nutrition in a Christ-centered environment.

The Faith Lutheran PE department believes strongly in preparing students to be physically active for life while also sharing the importance of the Gospel. Workouts in the gymnasium or on the field are valuable, but a disciplined life in God is far more so, making a person fit for today, and forever.
 
1 Timothy 4:7b-8 “train yourself to be godly. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.”
