Statement of Faith
- Objectives and Philosophy
Our supreme desire is to know Christ and to be conformed into His image by the power of the Holy Spirit. Objectives:
Philosophy: There is a difference between the Christian and the non-Christian viewpoints on a given subject. Even though knowledge is factually the same for both, no subject can be taught in the totality of its truth if the Creator is ignored or denied. The school is conscious that all truth is God's truth, including history, geography, science, music, and the arts, and that Jesus Christ is to be central in all learning. It is the purpose of the school to develop the spiritual, mental, physical, emotional and social facets of life, as in the life of our Lord, Luke 2:52: "And Jesus increased in wisdom, stature, and in favor with God and man." We believe God is the Creator and Sustainer of all things, and the Source of all truth. Because of sin, man tends to omit God and thus fails to relate himself and his knowledge to God, the Source of all wisdom. Regeneration by faith in Jesus Christ enables man to come to the knowledge of Truth. The home, church, and school should complement each other, promoting the student's spiritual, academic, social, emotional, and physical growth. The experience and training in each of these settings should be preparation for a life of fellowship with God and service to man. God has given differing abilities to each student, and it is the Christian teacher's responsibility to challenge each child according to his ability and to seek to teach him at his academic level.
