Education Creed

Our Mission:

To offer a Christian educational alternative that integrates faith and learning through a Biblical worldview. We strive to equip our students to develop their gifts, to become discerning disciples, and to joyfully serve God in the way God calls each of them to live in their community and world.

Our Vision:

We are a Christian community that believes that God is the Lord of all creation and that God is revealed through both creation and God's infallible written Word. We acknowledge that we are God's unique image bearers.
As a Christian community, we seek to educate the whole child, fostering spiritual, emotional, physical, aesthetic, and intellectual development, and we seek to help each other discover our unique God-given gifts. We wish to nurture our students, and encourage each other, so that we together may be led to discover, celebrate, and proclaim, both individually and communally, the restorative power of God's work in all areas of life.
As a Christian community, we aim to provide a challenging and affirming learning environment which frees students to explore and examine all human endeavor within God's creation from a Christian perspective, thereby developing their abilities to discern and respond to society.
As a Christian community, we encourage responsible citizenship by promoting and modeling social justice and stewardship through a variety of service opportunities in our campus life. We strive to provide knowledge, insight, and skills to equip our students to live lives of faithful and joyous service to God and neighbor.

Our Education Creed:

The Lord God, by graciously giving us the Scriptures, has revealed to His people ordering principles intensely relevant to education, and mandates humankind to bring the whole Word of God to bear in all its power upon education. Therefore we confess, regarding:

Life, that human life in its entirety is religious, for God created us to serve Him everywhere and in all things, and requires us to educate our children for this purpose.

Bible, that the Bible as the written Word of God is the Truth by which the Holy Spirit enlightens our understanding of God, ourselves, and the world, and is the infallible authority by which He directs and governs all our activities, including the education of our children.

Creation, that the Eternal Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who of nothing, made Heaven and Earth and all that is in them, likewise upholds and governs the same by His eternal counsel and providence and that this same God is glorified by His creation. Only in this can we rightly understand our relationship to God.

Ourselves, that we are created in the image of God to enjoy covenantal fellowship with our Creator and to reflect in our person and works the excellencies of our Maker. We are instructed to exercise dominion over the world in strict and loving obedience to God and to interpret all reality in accordance with His design and law.

Sin, that sin is disobedience of God's law and that we, by sinning, gave up our office and task, estranged ourselves from God and our neighbor, and brought God's curse upon creation. As a result, we are blind to the true meaning of life and repress and misuse the knowledge of God, which confronts us in creation and Scripture.

Christ, that Jesus Christ, our living Lord, of whom the Scriptures testify, has reconciled the world to God and redeems our life in its entirety, including education. Through His Spirit, He renews our heart to love God and our neighbor and redirects o ur understanding to rightly know God, ourselves, and the world.

The Kingdom of God, that the rule of Jesus Christ over all things established the Kingdom of God and makes education possible and meaningful. In obedience to Christ, we claim every area of life for Him.

Purpose of Education, that the purpose of education is to guide and direct students to know Christ and to prepare them for living a full-orbed Christian life, where God is gratefully served and honored in all activities, where each student learns to live as a member of the body of believers and as a member of society, attempting to renew for the Lord the culture, its use of natural resources, its literature, art, politics, and economics.

Parents, that God had commanded parents to responsibly nurture and educate their children. Out of obedience, parents are concerned that their children receive a God-honoring education, and thus establish Christian schools and seek out Christian educators to assist them in this task.

Children, that all children are image bearers of the Lord with God-given talents and unique personalities. They are to be dealt with as whole persons as they are guided in the educational process to take on responsible maturity as God's representatives in society.

Teachers, that the teacher, as a servant of God, accepts the responsibility from the parents to further nurture and educate their child(ren) in school, guiding students into a deeper understanding of God's world and its history. Through the execution of this teaching office in the school, teachers encourage students to attain responsible maturity grounded in the Biblical faith so that they can take up their specific responsibilities and vocation in life in a manner pleasing to the Lord.

The Christian School, that the school established and controlled by a society of Christian believers in accordance with state law, possesses the freedom in education in total and voluntary submission to Christ the King.
