We believe in the Triune God: God the Father who has created us and still provides for our needs, God the Son, Jesus Christ, who through His life, death and resurrection has redeemed us to fellowship with Him, and God the Holy Spirit who works through the Word and Sacraments to create and strengthen faith within us.
We believe that the Bible is God’s infallible Word and that the Lutheran Confessions are true expositions of that Word.
We believe that all humans have been created with their own unique abilities, gifts and talents, yet all are sinful and in need of a Savior.
We believe that Jesus Christ has commissioned His Church on earth to extend and preserve the Kingdom of God. “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” Matthew 28:19-20.
We believe that Trinity Lutheran School is an integral part of the mission and ministry of Trinity Lutheran Church and exists to carry out its commission to children in partnership with their parents, and to respond to our congregation’s and community’s need for Christian education.
We believe every effort should be made to witness the forgiving grace and love of our Savior in our community.
We believe the purpose of Trinity Lutheran School is to help students grow in their relationship with God, others and themselves, to help them acquire knowledge and understanding, and to develop talents and skills for responsible living and service.
We believe that we need to provide our students with Christian teachers to support and abide by this statement of philosophy. Our teachers are state certified to provide instruction in all the academic areas, to model Christian behavior, to nurture Christian values, and to integrate the principles of the Bible into all subjects and activities.
We recognize that each student’s interests, needs and learning styles must be individually addressed in order to help them develop the skills necessary to solve problems, communicate effectively and think creatively.
