Statement of Faith
- Concerning
Scripture: We believe that the Bible
in its original writings (the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments) is
the inspired and inerrant Word of God, and is the only infallible rule in
Christian faith and practice.
- Concerning
God: We believe in one God existing
eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, equal in power
and glory and identical in essence and attributes.

Philosophy
The foundational beliefs of Immanuel Christian School
produce a distinctive approach to education.
1. Our Philosophy is God-centered.
Man’s chief purpose is to glorify God
and enjoy Him forever. (Psalm 73:25; I Corinthians 10:31)
Immanuel Christian School is committed to assisting each student in the pursuit
of his chief purpose which is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. Therefore,
we must seek to encourage quality academic work and to maintain high standards
of conduct.
2. Our Philosophy is Parent-primary.
Parents are to bring up
their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. (Deuteronomy 6:5-7;
Ephesians 6:4)
Immanuel Christian School exists to complement, not replace, the parents’ or
guardians’ God-ordained responsibility as their child’s primary nurturers and
teachers. Therefore, we believe that as long as a child is under the
parents’/guardians’ authority, he/she should be trained in a manner consistent
with the primary home environment.

| Goals
1. To
provide education that is Christian.
"All Scripture is
God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training
in reighteousness so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for
every good work." (II
Timothy 3:16-17)
Because God has given us absolute truth in His revelation, the
Holy Scriptures, we teach math, science, social studies, art, physical
education, language - all subjects from a thoroughly biblical perspective.
2. To
maintain regular communication with parents.
The elementary teachers use the
homework slip and assignment book system to keep parents informed of
homework and test schedules. All teachers communicate concerns to parents
about behavior and character issues as they arise in the context of school
life and will help parents guide their child with biblical counsel.
3. To
encourage every student to begin and/or develop his relationship with God
the Father through His Son Jesus Christ.
"Now devote your heart and
soul to seeking the Lord your God." (I Chronicles 22:19)
