We Partner with Christian Parents
Lansing Christian School exists to assist parents in building a strong Christian foundation for their children. We serve Christian families who desire a Christ-centered education for their children.
Lansing Christian School is committed to the Christian perspective of life as was set forth in the Bible, recognizing God as the Creator of all things, Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the Savior of all who acknowledge Him as Lord, and the Holy Spirit as the one who reveals truth. We believe that the knowledge of God is the beginning of wisdom, that fellowship with God is the basis for true fellowship with one another, and that each student is uniquely created by God as a spiritual, intellectual, social, and physical being and is endowed with particular gifts. The goal of our school, in cooperation with the home and church, is to assist the parents to train their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord and to aid each student to develop to his or her full potential. Therefore, we believe that it is right and reasonable that families join together to provide an educational system which accomplishes this aim.
