Goals of Grace School

God placed responsibilities upon the Church and parents in the words of Deuteronomy 6:6-7: "Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart. Recite them to your children." And in Proverbs 22:6, "Train children in the right way, and when old, they will not stray." From these verses flow our goals for children at Grace School:

Giving--To instill Christian attitudes and conduct through the Word and Sacraments toward a sanctified life of Christian service to God and humankind.

Respectful--To guide in honest, useful Christian citizenship grounded in obedience to God and the Word.

Achieving--To develop a growing knowledge of the Triune God through the diligent study of the Word and also to provide an integrated program of Christian education in all academic areas, designed to meet the individual needs of every child

Caring--To foster Christian fellowship as one of the powerful factors in building character and training in Christian living and also to provide opportunities for all members of the community to provide care for each other and for neighbors, both near and far.

Extended Family--To provide reinforcement of the values of the Christian home and to provide a place for the growth and development of strong long-lasting relationships; to encourage regular church and worship experiences, family and personal devotions and witnessing for Christ.
