Our Mission & Vision
The mission of Millers Creek Christian School is to provide a quality academic education integrated with a Christian view of God and the world. We partner with parents to develop students who will serve God and impact the world through their character and leadership.
Our vision is to be a leading Christian educational institution, recognized for our commitment to academic excellence, spiritual development, and the cultivation of students who are critical thinkers, effective communicators, and compassionate leaders in their communities.
Statement of Beliefs
Our foundation is the Word of God, and our beliefs guide every aspect of our school's life. We are committed to upholding the core tenets of the Christian faith.
The Scriptures
We believe that God is the ultimate source of truth and that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God.
The Godhead
We believe that God is Spirit, infinite, personal, eternal, and unchangeable in His being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, grace, goodness, and truth.
Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ, conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, and died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins.
Salvation
We believe that He offers eternal life to those who confess their sins and accept Him as their Lord and Savior.
Christian Education
We believe that an education should include the development of Christian spirituality, gives life divine direction, and leads students to seek God's leadership in their lives.
Marriage
We believe marriage is defined as a union between one man and one woman, as established by God in Scripture.
Our Philosophy
Our educational program is grounded in Christian teachings and is presented from a Christian perspective. The development of the "whole child" is emphasized as spiritual, mental, physical, and social growth is nurtured.
The application of concepts taught is based on the belief that an education grounded in Christian principles and presented in a Christian environment will enhance the student's life and help them to develop a personal relationship with God through acceptance of the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, to learn to love others as themselves, have a proper love for themselves, and have a love for their country and environment.
"As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him. Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as we have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving." — Colossians 2:6-8
