Our Objectives

     St. John congregation, through the Christian Day School, offers your child a systematic and expanded study of the Word of God, in addition to the subject commonly taught in the elementary school. In pursuit if its basic goal, (providing a setting and educational program in which the child is led to know, understand, and respond to the Triune God), St. John Lutheran School, in its own distinctive way, is committed to the fulfillment of the following objectives:

1.  The child will come to the knowledge of the Triune god as his Creator, Redeemer, and Sanctifier.

2.  The child will establish a responsive and responsible relationship to God and the elements of His creation; namely, the world in which he lives.

3.  The child will acknowledge God's Word as the source of spiritual truth, grow in love and respect for it, and use it faithfully.

4.  The child will recognize himself as an integral element of God's creation, endowed with unique abilities and gifts, and will be responsible for the effective utilization of these talents.

5.  The child will grow in his Christian faith and develop a concern for the fellow members of the Body of Christ.

6.  The child will be taught the Christian religion in an integrated manner so it can be the permeating influence in all the teaching and activities taking place under the auspices of the school.

7.  The child will be educated in those fundamentals which will further his development as a Christian and a citizen.

8.  The child will recognize all men to be God's creation and will show respect, courtesy, and consideration for the rights and welfare of others.

9.  The child will respect government as God-ordained and will appreciate his privileges and responsibilities as a member of the local, state, national and world community.

     These objectives relate no only to this life, but to the world to come.  They seek to guide the child in his own life on earth, through death, and beyond death into eternal life in heaven with his Creator, Redeemer, and Sanctifier.
