Philosophy of Faith Lutheran School - North Palm Beach, Florida
The Mission Statement of Faith Lutheran Church:
We are Faith Lutheran Church, members of the body of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit calls us today to share God’s love and grace for your life through worship, study, fellowship and service. Mission and Ministry of Faith Lutheran School:
Faith Lutheran School is an integral part of Fai
th Lutheran Church’s mission and ministry to all children and their families. We, Faith Lutheran School, are reaching out in mission by teaching God’s love and grace, in a safe loving environment, through a strong, age appropriate academic program. In partnership with the families we strive to develop the physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and spiritual growth of each child. Physical Development:
1 Cor 6:19-20 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Children are taught to respect their bodies as temples of God. They are encouraged to improve their bodies through physical movement in conjunction with health and wellness education. Cognitive Development:
Ecclesiastes 1:12 … but the advantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves those who have it. Children learn best through play with hands on, developmentally appropriate materials. Social Development:
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Children are encouraged to be independent beings with a respect for God’s creation. They are taught respect for authority and to get along with others through developmentally appropriate problem solving. Emotional Development:
Num 6:26 The Lord turn his face towards you and give you peace
Children are given the opportunity to grow in the knowledge of God’s word and the security of Jesus’ love and care. Children are encouraged to express their feelings through healthy avenues and respect the feelings of others. Spiritual Development:
Luke 24:45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the scriptures
Children are taught that the Bible is the Word of God, Jesus is the Son of God and
through Him our sins are forgiven.
