Guided and empowered by the Holy Spirit, Our Redeemer Lutheran Church with School
provides Christ-centered training in God’s Word integrated with excellence in education.
The central purpose of our school is to nurture each child’s faith in Jesus Christ
as Savior and to equip each child to live and to bear witness to that faith.
The teachers of Our Redeemer Lutheran Church with School personally and publicly
bear witness to their faith in Jesus Christ. Teachers and students daily worship
God and study His Word as found in the Bible. God’s law is taught without apology.
The Gospel of God’s forgiveness through His Son, Jesus Christ, is taught daily with
joy and relationships are based upon the Gospel and forgiveness. The school serves
as a mission agency of our church, in that all students, regardless of church background
or membership, are taught according to this philosophy. Physical evidence of the
Christian faith throughout the school helps to define and bear witness to the school’s
mission.
Using their God-given abilities, teachers and students strive for excellence as
they use effective, current learning and teaching materials. Students are prepared
to become responsible stewards of their talents and treasures in a joy-filled Christian
life.
Our Redeemer Lutheran Church with School holds high, yet appropriate, expectations
for its students and also believes that all students need to be successful. Students
need to be both challenged and helped toward success. Appropriate evaluation of
student performance, both formal and informal, occurs before, during and after teaching.
Our Redeemer Lutheran Church with School seeks to develop the basic skills of learning;
thinking; solving problems, making value judgments and decisions; and respecting
self, others, and property. Our school also teaches children how to apply concepts
such as individual responsibility, the common good, by grace alone, and living "by
faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me." Galatians 2:20.
Our Redeemer Lutheran Church with School serves families by assisting parents to
carry out their parental responsibilities in Christian education. We promote a close
relationship between school, home, and congregation.
We encourage parents to provide the primary training of their children, to have
family devotions, and to take their children to weekly worship services. The school
exists as a secondary partner in the Christian and overall training of their children.
