WHAT MATTERS TO GOD MATTERS TO US---CORE VALUES

THEREFORE—  
>God’s Word will be the center of all our school values and programs.
>We will encourage personal and group Bible study and Sunday school attendance of our staff, parents, and students.
>We need to teach our students and families that worship is an important ingredient in a Christian’s life.
