Living Grace Christian School

At Living Grace, we seek to partner with parents in a way that enables children to prosper in their academic growth and in their character development. All people—parents, teachers, and students—work together in positive Biblical teamwork and relationship in order to help the students to understand their identity in Christ and God’s developing plan for their lives. It is our hope that the values expressed in this website will inspire you to consider this kind of education for your child.

THE HEART OF LIVING GRACE

Ephesians 2:8-10 says, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (NIV). God’s grace enables us to focus on Christ and his glorious gift of salvation. God’s grace helps us to focus on our relationship with Christ—our union with Christ. God’s grace enables us to get our focus off ourselves and onto Christ and his empowerment in order to live the victorious life of Christ.

At Living Grace Christian School, we emphasize with the students that they are saved by God’s grace through faith, which is itself a gift of God. We stress that the students can have a grace-filled relationship with Jesus Christ, who is “full of grace and truth” (John 1:14). We provide them with constant encouragement that they are God’s workmanship—that God has a great plan, a great promised land, a great destiny for their lives. As Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord... “plans to give you hope and a future” (NIV).

In addition, since we espouse the necessity of teamwork between parents and teachers, we seek to walk in a grace-filled way toward one another. We seek to excel in our communications with one another. We endeavor to speak the truth in love and receive one another in a way that honors Christ. We ask parents to “reserve judgment” when they hear a negative report from their children and, if necessary, to ask the teacher about the matter. As parents and teachers, we seek to walk in the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace so that God commands a blessing—abundant life forevermore—upon our children and students (Psalm 133). We welcome and encourage parents’ participation in the educational process, both at home and in the school setting.
