Philosophy of Christian Education: |
I believe that Christ should be permitted to permeate every aspect of our lives... and all truth and knowledge is from God. I believe that, as Christians, it is of the utmost importance to teach, to learn and to live with a Christian/Biblical worldview. We are to be "the light of the world" in all we do ... Whether it's a "secular" or a "sacred" activity. |

Philosophy of Christian Education: |
I believe all education is a revelation of God's creation and working in the lives of men, as recorded in history and culminating in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. True learning examines this record through the lenses of a Biblical view. Such a view is only evident through Christian education. |
