Will your child see the world as God's Creation? |
|
We believe the
Bible teaches that God has established a special
relationship or covenant with Christians. By a saving
faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, Christians
participate in this special relationship with God in all
aspects of their lives.
Educating our youth in God's
truth…
We believe there is a close connection between this
covenant relationship and the education of our
children. Christian parents bear the responsibility of
instructing their children in God’s truth which touches
every aspect of life. Because all truth is God’s truth, ECS as an extension of the Christian home, is dedicated
to educating children of Christian parents of this
perspective.
The Bible and learning are
inevitably linked...
Our purpose is
to confront students with the important realities of
life, so they may learn how to evaluate them in relation
to the principles taught in the Bible. Because the
Bible and learning are inevitably linked, ECS uses a
Bible-based curriculum.
Further, we believe the following:
Glorify God - We believe that all things exist to glorify God,
whom we know through Jesus Christ. Therefore, we must teach
children that every part of their lives must serve
Christ's glory. -
God's Creation - We believe
that because God made and upholds his creation, it
is of essential goodness and worth. The Everett Christian School
curriculum must study the entire created order;
reflect the principles of truth, goodness, and
beauty vested in our world; and interpret each fact
in the universe as belonging to the upholding work
of God.
God's Image Bearers - We believe that God made men and women to tend
the world as bearers of his image. Therefore, we
must teach children to study
our world and use its resources to fulfill our task
of stewardship. God's Created a World of
Order - We believe that God has created a world
of order, not chaos, and has given human beings the
ability to understand the created order. We believe,
however, that sin darkens our hearts and
understanding of the world. Therefore, we teach that
all human culture is affected by sin and falls short
of glorifying God. God's Word is revealed in
Scripture - We believe that the Scriptures are God's
inspired word and that, illumined by the Holy
Spirit, they teach us how to view all of life and
creation. Therefore, we support education that
accepts everything contained in the Scriptures and
interprets all things in the universe according to
them. God's Task for Us- We believe that Jesus Christ, as Lord of all,
renews his people in his image and calls them back
to the task of tending his creation. Therefore, we
support Christian education that does not divide
life into secular and sacred parts, nor ignores any
part of the world as outside its interests. God's Community - We believe that Christ has called the members of
his community to serve him together and has
obligated them to teach their children how to serve
in his kingdom. Therefore, we affirm that education
is the task of the entire Christian community;
Everett Christian School takes its place beside the
family and the church and fulfills a unique role in
instructing and nurturing students. God's Servants - We believe that children of
believers are members of the Christian community and
are regarded as God's servants. Therefore, we
support schools that encourage students, beginning
while they are young, to serve the Lord Jesus Christ
in everything and to use their skills in the
interests of the kingdom of God.
