Vision, Mission & Philosophy

Recognizing God as the source of all truth, wisdom, and knowledge, Lansing Christian School partners with Christian parents to educate children to the full extent of their God-given abilities. We engage students in an academically challenging environment that fosters spiritual and intellectual, as well as, social and physical growth. We equip students to exalt God and follow Christ in all aspects of life. We call students to grow in maturity in Jesus Christ, being knowledgeable about our faith, standing firm in our convictions, living as servants within our community and being stewards of God’s creation.

At Lansing Christian School, we actively support Christian parents in their effort to lead their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord by providing a strong liberal arts education which values critical thinking and is rooted in Scripture and historical Christian wisdom (Eph. 6:4; Prov. 18:15).

We believe God’s design gives the home the primary responsibility for children’s education, and we acknowledge that the school serves as an extension of that authority (Deut. 6:6-7; Prov. 22:6). The diligent Christian parent, as a member of the body of Christ, seeks family growth in faith and practice with regular involvement in a local Christian church whose creeds and practices align with the doctrinal statement and policies of Lansing Christian School (Acts 2:42; Rom. 12:5; Col. 3:16).

Therefore, in cooperation with the home and church, Lansing Christian School exists to equip students with spiritual wisdom, intellectual understanding, social virtues, and physical fitness, so that they, as children of God, may “occupy their places worthily in society, church, and state” (Article III, LCS Constitution).

At Lansing Christian School, we challenge and train students to examine broad aspects of human knowledge from a Biblical worldview, in order to provide them with an appropriate framework for determining what is true and pleasing in God’s eyes (Rom. 12:2; Eph. 5:10; 2 Tim. 2:15).

We cultivate students to model the Fruit of the Spirit, exhibiting Christ-like character, integrity, and selfdiscipline (Gal. 5:22-23). As Christians, we strive to see and value each person as God does: uniquely created in His image and saved by His grace, regardless of denomination, class, sex, race, ethnicity, or other temporal characteristics (Gen. 1:27; 2 Cor. 5:17). We recognize the universality of sin, and embrace a unifying identity in Christ that transcends earthly divisions (Rom. 3:23; Gal. 3:28). In all aspects of our school community, a Biblical standard of behavior is expected and upheld. (Col. 3:17; 1 Cor. 10:31; Eph. 6:7).

We arm students with knowledge that not only challenges the mind but also shapes the heart, preparing them to be disciples of Christ who worship God with reverence, thanksgiving, and a commitment to serve (Ps. 100:4-5; Josh. 24:15). We commit to helping them discover, develop, and employ their God-given talents for His glory and the benefit of others (Ps. 37:3; 1 Pet. 4:10-11; Rom. 12:6-8; Eph. 2:10).

Trusting in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, we educate students in such a way “that they may set their hope in God” and be faithful to Him all the days of their lives (Ps. 78:7).
