Vision Statement

The vision of Calvary Chapel Christian School is to raise up multiple generations of godly young people:

• who love the Lord with all their heart, soul, mind and strength;
• who serve Him in both their vocational calling and in the local church; and
• who worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

Multiple Generations of Godly Young People

If you ask Christian parents what their greatest desire is for their children and their children’s children, their answer will most likely be that their children walk closely with the Lord throughout their lives and spend eternity with them in heaven. Secular education by definition is education:

“pertaining to this present world, or to things not spiritual or holy; relating to things not immediately or primarily respecting the soul, but the body; worldly. The secular concerns of life respect making provision for the support of life, the preservation of health, the temporal prosperity of men.” (Webster’s Dictionary, 1828).

Christian education focuses on seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, knowing that “all these things will be added to you” (Matthew 6:33) when you put God’s Kingdom first in your life. Our vision is to prepare students not only for this present world, but more importantly, for an eternity with the God who created them.

Our vision is to cooperate with parents in order to help them fulfill the scriptural command to tell the generation to come (their children) “the praises of the Lord, and His strength and His wondrous works that He has done” (Psalm 78:4) so that their children and grandchildren, may “put their confidence in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep His commandments” (Psalm 78:7; see also Psalm 145:4; Isaiah 38:19; Exodus 10:2; Joel 1:3). Our vision is to raise up multiple generations of godly young people, with each generation telling the next generation of the things of God. Children who receive such a heritage from their family are truly blessed.

Who Love the Lord With all Their Heart, Soul, Mind and Strength

The first great commandment is to love the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul and strength, and the second is like it, love your neighbor as yourself. According to Jesus, there are no commandments greater than these (Mark 12:30-31). On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets (Matthew 22:40). One of our primary goals, therefore, is to model, teach and foster a sincere love for God and for one another, and to create a climate of love in which students can experience the love of God and come to the place where they can honestly say, “...we have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us” (1 John 4:16). Experiencing God’s love and expressing it through our relationships with others is a sign of having passed from death into life (1 John 3:14-15).

Who Serve Him Both in Their Vocational Calling and in the Local Church

"But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant." (Jesus; Matthew 23:11 KJV) As Christians, our lives are greatly enriched by the knowledge that in serving others through our vocation, we are actually serving Christ (Colossians 3:22-24). This knowledge motivates us to serve faithfully even when others are not looking and gives us a great hope of reward. God has also uniquely gifted each member of the body of Christ and equipped them to edify the other members of the body through the exercise of their spiritual gift(s) (1 Cor. 12:1-31; Romans 12:3-8; Ephesians 4:7-13). One of our goals, therefore, is to help our students to discern their spiritual gifts and desire to use them to serve God, both in their vocational calling and as an attendee of a vibrant local church. A life so lived brings great fulfillment to the individual, builds up the body of Christ, and is a fruitful witness to the world.

Who Worship the Lord in the Beauty of Holiness

"Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness"(Psalm 29:2 KJV). “The chief end of man is to glorify God by enjoying Him forever” (John Piper, Desiring God). Worship is one of the few activities in which we may engage that will last for eternity. When we have come to know the love of God, and understand that through His grace we stand before Him in the righteousness of Christ, we cannot help but worship Him. The knowledge that every aspect of our lives can be a means of bringing glory to God (1 Corinthians 10:31) makes all of life an act of worship. One of our goals is to be a worshipping community where God is honored and His name is lifted high.
