Trinity Lutheran School is a mission arm of Trinity Lutheran Church – LCMS. Trinity Lutheran School exists to provide a program of Christian education, which is in harmony with God’s will as revealed in the Bible.
All of life, including knowledge and service, finds its true meaning and purpose in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Therefore, Trinity Lutheran congregation operates its school as a part of God’s ministry to its own members and a mission outreach and service to the community.
Policies and decisions are made by the Parochial School Board of Trinity Lutheran Church and carried out by the principal and faculty.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”32px”][vc_column_text]GOALS
Our goal at Trinity Lutheran School is to provide a developmentally-appropriate learning environment where each child will experience success, and will grow spiritually, intellectually, physically, creatively, socially, and emotionally.
SPIRITUAL – Training and instruction in traditional Christianity and the Christian life.
INTELLECTUAL – Usage of different instructional approaches to meet differing learning styles in helping children achieve their highest potential possible in critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and in the eight curriculum areas.
PHYSICAL -Training, through age-appropriate activities, to develop healthy and strong bodies, and encouragement to follow healthy lifestyles.
CREATIVE – Appreciation of the fine arts as well as developing and nurturing individual talents in all creative areas.
SOCIAL – Encouragement to approach life and our fellow human beings in a Christ-like manner with Christ’s command to love one another as one’s self as the paradigm.
EMOTIONAL – Meeting the three critical needs of life – identity, security, and meaning – through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, by nurturing the gift of faith that comes from God through a good curriculum and a Christ-enriched day.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”32px”][vc_column_text]PHILOSOPHY
We believe that the Bible clearly teaches that man and woman were created perfect and holy; and in His will with each other. However, they lost this “image of God” when sin entered the world. Through Adam and Eve’s disobedience, we have all inherited a “sin nature” which separates us from God.
We would have to die physically and spiritually and be apart eternally from God in order to atone. However, God, in His great mercy and love, sent Jesus, true God and true man, into the world to rescue us from our “sin nature” and this separation by taking our “death” punishment. He rescued us by dying for us! He then sent His Holy Spirit to deposit into us the faith to believe this “Good News.” This faith that lives in us, and that He has freely distributed, saves us!
Because faith comes by teaching and hearing the Word of Christ, we seek to teach this truth to our little ones. They freely receive this saving gift of faith, as they hear about their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is nothing that we, ourselves, DO! It is God working the miracle of faith in us, as His words are spoken.
We believe that each child is a special gift from God, a unique creation, possessing his own God-given gifts and talents. Therefore, our program is designed to encompass the total child and promote learning and growth in the spiritual, cognitive, physical, emotional, and social areas of a child’s body, mind, and soul.
We believe that learning develops through doing and “experiencing,” rather than simple observation. Therefore, we seek to be developmentally appropriate in our activities so that each child can grow at his own rate of maturation, not necessarily related to his chronological age. We affirm that families are the greatest agents for nurturing the whole child and view Christian education to be the best tool that works hand-in-hand with the parents, not to shelter from the world, but to better prepare them for coping in the world.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”32px”][vc_column_text]ORGANIZATION

All policies for the school’s operation, as well as the school philosophy and budget, are determined by the Parochial School Board, which consists of members elected to their positions by the Voters’ Assembly of Trinity Lutheran Church and who are accountable to the Trinity Lutheran Church Council. The Administrator and teachers of the school carry out the decisions of the Parochial School Board.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
