Christian Education

We believe that if, as a Christian educational institution, we neglect to teach and acknowledge the God of our forefathers, the God of the Bible, this same Holy God will forget our own students.

"... seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children." (Hosea 4:6c)

God forbid!

That's why we remind ourselves and our members to teach the words of the Lord...

"And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates: That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children... " (Deuteronomy 11:19-21a)

"Choose you this day whom ye will serve...but as for me and my [school] house, we will serve the LORD." (Joshua 24:15)

The Bible may constitutionally be used in an appropiate study of history, civilization, ethics, comparative religion, or the like.
