A Basic LERT Training class will be held at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Raymore, MO, on Saturday, January 31, 2026. Check-in begins at 8:30 a.m. (with coffee and donuts provided), and the class will begin at 9:00 a.m. Lunch and training materials will be provided. The class will run for approximately four hours.
This class will help prepare congregation volunteers to assist individuals, families and the greater community with God-given, mercy-driven strength and compassion. We will reflect on how Christ has shown mercy to us and how we, in turn, can demonstrate that same Christ-like mercy to our community during times of need, whether in response to a disaster or simply by being present to listen and comfort others.
Being LERT-trained does not require any further commitment to the program, though continued involvement is encouraged so you can put your training into practice and experience the joy shared by you and your LERT teammates as you serve others.
The class fee is $35 and helps cover the cost of training materials, LERT volunteer T-shirt, morning snacks and lunch. This fee is waived for members of Bethlehem Lutheran Church – Raymore, MO.
