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.
