Our Philosophy
1. We believe that St. John's Lutheran School is more than the mission. It is established by God to also accomplish the mission (1 Corinthians 9:22; Philippians 2:1-4).
2. We believe God's truth is revealed with power in His inerrant Word (2 Peter 1:20-21; Isaiah 55:10-11).
3. We believe that St. John's Lutheran School, empowered by the Holy Spirit and viewing the pupil through the cross of Christ, is concerned with the child's total needs - physical, social, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual.
Our Goals
Worship
We believe that God is worthy of worship and is the source of our ability to worship.
Goals
Worship the Lord in spirit and truth (John 3:24; Hebrews 10:23-25).
Honor the Lord with music and song, praising Him with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs (Psalm 3:1-4; Ephesians 5:19-20).
Education
We believe faithful Christian ministry will emphasize salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-10; 1 Corinthians 2:2).
We believe that God is honored by excellence in ministry (Ecclesiastes 9;10; 1 Corinthians 9:24-27; 2 Peter 1:5-11).
We believe that Christian education of each child is a cooperative effort among students, parents, educators, and church family. We believe that instruction should focus on the individual needs and abilities of the child.
Goals
Honor the Lord with biblically faithful and culturally relevant teaching (2 Timothy 4:1-5).
Provide a variety of opportunities for Christians to grow spiritually by integrating Jesus Christ in all academic areas (1 Peter 2:1-2; Hebrews 6:1-3).
Provide excellence in the Christian education of God's children (Proverbs 22:6; Deuteronomy 4:4-7).
Encourage, train, and equip young people to live faithful lives (Ecclesiastes 11:9-10; 1 Timothy 4:12).
Evangelism
We believe that St. John's Lutheran School joyfully proclaims Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior of the world "...teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you," and thus makes Him the focal point of its educational process.
Goal
Inspire God's children to share their faith naturally and eagerly (Acts 4:19-20; 1 Peter 3:15).
Fellowship
We believe integrity, not popularity, is God's standard for faithful Christian individuals (Isaiah 51:7,8; Galatians 1:10).
We believe that we should love each other as Christ loved the church (John 15:12).
Goal
Provide opportunities for Christian fellowship and mutual encouragement (Hebrews 10:23-25).
Service
We believe followers of Jesus Christ will demonstrate good works and the fruit of the Spirit, which is: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23; Matthew 7:16).
We believe that every Christian is called by God to live a life of eternal significance and is uniquely gifted for service (Romans 12:1; 1 Peter 4:10).
Goal
Conduct a ministry of intentional service beyond our school and support mission endeavors near and far (Luke 12:47-48; Luke 24:46-47).
