Foundational Goal: Faith

At Grace Christian School, faith is the cornerstone of all we do. We seek to nurture students who know God personally, stand firmly on the truth of His Word, and live out their faith with integrity, love, and purpose in every area of life.

Students Will Be Christians Who:
  1. Understand that God is real and all truth is God’s truth.
  2. Believe that the Bible is God’s Word and know, understand, and possess apologetic skills that
    enable them to articulate and defend their Biblical worldview.
  3. Are empowered by the Holy Spirit to pursue a life of faith, goodness, knowledge, self-control,
    perseverance, godliness, kindness, and love.
  4. Understand the worth of every human being as created in the image of God by respecting
    and relating appropriately with integrity to people.
  5. Embrace and practice justice, mercy, and peacemaking in family and society.
  6. Understand that work has dignity as an expression of the nature of God by personally carrying
    out Jesus’ Great Commission locally and around the world.
  7. Are actively involved in a church community, serving God and others.
