Our mission

The Gethsemane Lutheran Children’s Ministry (GLCM) is designed to meet the needs of children through an inclusive preschool program that offers a variety of activities and expressions while providing an environment which emphasizes the basic Christian values of love, trust, peace, cooperation, and respect. GLCM is a safe and affirming environment that promotes acceptance of all children and families.

Inclement Weather Policy

Inclement Weather: If Austin ISD (AISD) classes are canceled due to weather, or if the Director believes remaining open would jeopardize the safe travel of children or staff, the center may be closed. Once closed, the center will remain closed the rest of the day. In cases of AISD delayed openings GLCM will open at 11:00 a.m., depending on property condition; ice on the parking lot, sidewalk, etc. Under these conditions, the center may remain closed the entire day. Please plan to make alternate arrangements. GLCM will take the following steps to ensure clear communication in the event of a possible closure:

  1. Once we are aware of approaching bad weather, signs will be posted on doors alerting parents.
  2. GLCM will send email to parents early in the day giving parents a “heads up” on a possible closure.
  3. A message will be left on the office answering machine (339-6335) stating the opening time or if the center will be closed.
  4. Any updates will be sent to parents via email.
  5. GLCM will alert TV stations for closings.

If none of the above answer your questions, please email the director at glcm@sbcglobal.net or call Angelica Lundquist (Assistant Director) at 657-3476
