St Paul Lutheran Pre-School

St Paul Lutheran Pre-School is a preschool in Wood River, IL. The school operates as part of St. Paul Lutheran Church, which also runs Sunday worship services at 8:00am and 10:30am, Sunday Bible Class at 9:30am, and Vacation Bible School and a Block Party among its programs. The preschool is led by Preschool Director Jenna Schultz and shares its grounds with the congregation at 1327 Vaughn Road. Office hours for the church run Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 2:00pm, and the church office can be reached at (618) 259-0257.

The church itself dates to 1916, when a handful of families came together to raise a new generation to know and follow Jesus, and today hundreds of families continue that effort. As Lutherans, they teach and live out the message of Jesus, believing that God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit created and loves all people, that salvation comes by grace through faith in Christ, and that this message is the central teaching of the Bible. The staff supporting the wider congregation includes Pastor Schultz, secretary Karen Hansen, organist James Gauen, and organist and choir director Joseph Meador. The church offers livestreamed worship services, a weekly email newsletter, and a calendar of bulletins spanning the liturgical year, and supports ministries including its Lutheran Schools program.

The preschool is situated on Vaughn Road, roughly a fifth of a mile from Brushy Grove Park and about half a mile from East End Park. East Edwardsville Road lies within a third of a mile, and Madison Avenue is nearby as well.
