It is our goal to aid in growth spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally, and socially to develop mature Christians who are prepared to live a life that boldly and effectively proclaims a Biblical worldview and enables them to fulfill God’s perfect will in their careers and calling.
Our Philosophy
Children learn and develop naturally as they grow. Their development is much richer and better rounded if their experiences are broad and they are exposed to tools of discovery. Parents and adults interacting with children need to encourage, allow, and provide stimulating activities. Teaching involves telling, showing, listening, observing, and enabling. Learning takes place best in an environment that is safe, orderly, and caring. Children learn by creating, testing, manipulating through trial and error, experiencing, asking questions, feeling, constructing, tasting, and smelling. They learn through the processes of their everyday living if given the independence and motivation. Children need to feel and learn that they are important, loved, and can be independent. They must be treated as persons of worth at all times. Children need positive reinforcement for tasks they have completed, for their accomplishments, and for their efforts. Children must be given the opportunity to develop physically, emotionally, academically, and spiritually through a variety of activities and experiences. They must learn to appreciate success and understand failure. As adults, we must provide opportunities, direction, and encouragement which will enable our children to become productive citizens. We believe in and will work to awaken the spiritual development of the child through sound Bible teaching. Children will learn about God and His Son Jesus through major Bible stories from the Old and New Testament. Memory verses, music, art, and other activities will help develop character based upon good moral principles. These Bible truths and principles will help to build a solid foundation of Christian living for our children.

Statement of Faith
- We believe the Bible to be the inspired, only infallible authoritative, inerrant Word of God (1 Timothy 3:16).
- We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1, Matthew 28:19, John 10:30).
- We believe in the deity of Christ (John 10:33); His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:35); His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15, Hebrews 7:26); His miracles (John 2:11); His vicarious and atoning death (1 Corinthians 15:3, Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 2:9); His resurrection (John11:25, 1 Corinthians 15:4); His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19); His personal return in power and glory (Acts 1:11, Revelation 19:11).
- We believe in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature; and that mean are justified on the ground of faith alone for salvation (John 3:16-19, John 5:24, Romans 3:23, Romans 5:8-9, Ephesians 2:8-10, Titus 3:5).
- We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and those that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation (John 5:28-29).
- We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9, 1 Corinthians 12:12-13, Galatians 3:26-28).
- We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (Romans 8:13-14, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, Ephesians 4:30, 5:18).
We believe in the personal and imminent coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and that this “blessed hope” has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believer (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).
