CORE VALUES
At Living Grace Christian School we hold to the following core
values as a school community:
1. The Whole Counsel of the Word of God
We espouse and teach God’s Word as providing purpose, destiny,
and guidance for life. God’s Word should be integrated into
all of life. Integrating the Bible into the curriculum, we are committed
to academic excellence. (Acts 20:20, 27; Matt. 28:16-20)
2. A House of Prayer for All Nations
We believe prophetic worship, prayer, and preaching in the lives
of our students edifies them concerning God’s heart and plan
for their lives. The students develop a sensitivity to the Lord’s
heart and plan for their lives through regular opportunities to
worship the Lord in Spirit and in truth. (Isaiah 56:6-7, Matt. 21:13-16,
1 Pet. 2:1-10)
3. The Gospel of Grace through Faith
We seek to nurture our students in a developing, grace-filled relationship
with Christ, who is “full of grace and truth” (John
1:14). As caring teachers, we seek to help and encourage all students
to maximize their potential by emphasizing their overcoming position
in Christ. (Acts 20:24, 32; Eph. 2:8-10, 2 Tim. 1:8-12)
4. The Unity of the Spirit through the Bond of Peace
We maintain open and peace-filled communication through being receptive
and accessible to one another as teachers, parents, and students.
We speak the truth in love. As teachers, we invite parents to communicate
with us. We seek to excel in regular interaction, both oral and
written, in order to prosper in our relationships and to help our
students succeed. (Eph. 4:1-6, Psalm 133, Phil. 2:1-11)
5. The Imitation of Christ
We call ourselves and our students to imitate Christ in discipleship.
As part of a godly character training program each year, the students
are taught and encouraged to grow in specific traits of godly character.
(Matt. 11:28-30, Matt. 28:16-20, Eph. 5:1-2, 1 Thess. 1:2-10)
6. The Greatness of Servanthood
We seek to have an attitude of service. As teachers and parents
we partner together in the training and teaching of our students.
As teachers, we aim to encourage parents to see themselves as participants
in their children’s home learning, in volunteer school service,
and in attending school team meetings. We foster an environment
clearly supportive of parents. (Matt. 20:20-28, 1 Pet. 4:10-11)
7. The Perfection of Love
We walk in love for one another. All of God’s commands are
summed up in loving God and loving our neighbors. Christian love
and care for others is the defining characteristic of the life of
Christ. (1 John 4:15-18, Matt. 7:12, Matt. 22:36-40, John 15:1-17,
1 John 3:1)
