Synopsis :

A Century in the Park is the story of Oak Grove Lutheran School, which was founded by visionaries of the Lutheran Free Church to provide secondary Christian education for girls. It is the only institution of nine started by that organization to survive, even though during much of its first century its future was in doubt. The first 100 years were truly a journey of faith. This is the story of the various events in the lives of the students, staff, faculty, and supporters as they traveled that journey.
