At St. Paul Christian School, we are committed to providing a Christ-centered education that nurtures the spiritual, intellectual, and emotional growth of each student. Rooted in the teachings of the Bible, we seek to guide our students in understanding and embracing the love, truth, and grace of Jesus Christ. Our Statement of Faith serves as a foundational declaration of the beliefs that shape our teachers, staff, and student body, ensuring that we remain steadfast in our mission to honor God in all aspects of education and life. Through this commitment, we aim to equip students to live out their faith, develop a Christlike character, and positively impact the world around them. What religious teachings will my children learn? Jesus said, "Let the children come to Me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the Kingdom of God" (Mark 10:14, ESV) Jesus loves children and desires to share with them the wonders of God's Kingdom - and so do we!
