We will love, fear and honor God
God commands that we honor Him above all else. He also said that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge and that we are to love him with everything that we are. “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” Matthew 22:37. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Psalm 111:10 “You shall have no other gods before me.” Exodus 20:3
We know that the Bible is the truth
As we honor God in all that we do, we must also accept that His word is the truth and we will teach it as that. “All scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction and for the training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16
We know Jesus Christ died on the cross as a ransom for our sin
Believing that Christ died for our sins and that without this, there is no redemption is essential to all areas of life. It is our obligation to stay focused on the Gospel, so our children will hear and understand His message of salvation. In everything that we say, teach and do, we strive to reflect the message of reconciliation to God and to each other through the gift of Grace. “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.” Ephesians 2:8
We expect academic integrity and excellence
God requires that we make every effort towards excellence and integrity. This certainly includes academics. “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” Philippians 4:8 “For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints.” Proverbs 2:6-8
We will work to come alongside the family
We will not take the place of the family or the church. But, through the education process, we will work to come alongside the family to help support a continuous journey towards Godly living. “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in truth.” 3 John 1:4
We will value each child
In the process of education, we will value the individual child as a child of God and will strive to teach each of them how to think, not what to think. “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6
