Philosophy of Des Moines Christian School |
| God has ordained the family as the foundation for mankind. Parents
have been entrusted with the nurture, instruction and discipline of their children. The purpose of Des Moines Christian School is to assist the family in establishing quality education centered in the Bible, the inspired Word of God, for the development and growth of the complete person spiritually, academically, emotionally, socially and physically. God's Word, as revealed in the Bible, is the foundation for the truths we teach (II Timothy 3:15-17 and 2:15). Wherever truth is discovered or revealed, God is its source and creator. Jesus Christ is the sustainer of truth, and the Spirit is the revealer of truth (John 16;13-14 and 17:17). A personal commitment to Jesus Christ and God's Word, the Bible, is essential for all those involved in the educational process, i.e., family, faculty, staff, administration, and board. Our ultimate goal is to teach the child to know God, love Him, enjoy Him and witness of Him in a life of service to God and man. |
