Philosophy/Mission

Mission

Maranatha Christian Schools, in partnership with parents, is dedicated to providing a Christ-centered educational program in a nurturing environment, supporting spiritual and academic excellence, and equipping students to fulfill God’s purposes in their daily lives.

Philosophy Of Education

We believe that parents are God’s primary provision for nurturing and educating children (Deuteronomy 6:6-9). Our philosophy of Christian education consists of the home, church and school aligning them and working together to help provide a solid foundation for the students. The ultimate goal is for them to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. It is our desire to come alongside and supplement the home, serving as a representative of parents in matters of education, ministry, and discipline during school hours.

We believe a strong home/school relationship is essential. Therefore, parental involvement and support play a vital role in the academic and spiritual growth of each child. Teachers and parents must regularly and consistently communicate regarding the progress of their child.

The families at Maranatha Christian Schools are encouraged to spend time daily together in the reading of God's Word and in prayer. Developing the proper format and content for your particular family's devotions should be prayerfully considered.

Statement Of Faith

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.
We believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is fully God and fully man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins; He arose bodily from the dead and ascended to heaven, where, at the right hand of God the Father, He is now our High Priest and Advocate. Our supreme desire is to know Christ and to be conformed into His Image by the power of the Holy Spirit.
We believe the Bible, God's Holy Word, is our foundation, it is authoritative as the rule of faith and is the standard for living.
We believe worship is Spiritual.
Therefore: we remain flexible and yielded to the leading of the Holy Spirit to direct our school.
We believe worship of God should be inspirational.
Therefore: music is an integral part of our spiritual development.
We believe worship of God should be intelligent.
Therefore: chapel services and education programs are designed with great emphasis on the teaching of God's Word.
We believe worship of God is fruitful.
Therefore: we look for His love in our lives as evidence that we have truly been worshipping Him.
We are not a denominational church, nor are we opposed to denominations. We do not, however, agree with the over emphasis of the doctrinal differences that have led to divisions in the Body of Christ. We believe that the true basis for Christian fellowship is God's [Agape] love, which is greater than the differences we possess and without which we cannot claim to be Christians.
