OUR PHILOSOPHY
At Child of God Lutheran School, we believe that each child is a unique creation of God. Each child has spiritual, emotional, physical, intellectual, and social needs. All these needs are met only through the grace, love, and mercy of the Holy Triune God. Therefore, we believe it is our purpose as educators to work with parents and the community to assist children to find fulfillment of those needs. Through this effort, we develop well-rounded children equipped to be effective citizens demonstrating and witnessing to the glory of God, the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, and the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit. Students are motivated by fully trained, Christian educators, working with families to cultivate a strong, living faith that will allow them to function with confidence in Christ through all life’s situations.
Our school provides a Christ-centered atmosphere where faith is integrated into all subject areas, while maintaining a quality academic program of educational excellence. Each student is nurtured and encouraged to develop to his or her fullest spiritual and academic potential. Through a strong, accredited academic program, students are prepared and encouraged to pursue higher levels of academic instruction which will equip them to become productive members of society, functioning fully through their God-given gifts.
Purpose
It is the intent of Child of God Lutheran School to develop Christ-like character (1 John 3:18, Ephesians 4:32, Proverbs 3:3, Philippians 4:8) and academic excellence in our students that transforms lives (Matthew 28:19-20, John 8:31, John 13:34-45) and shapes communities (Isaiah 64:8, Proverbs 27:17, Romans 12:4-5).
