We adhere to and follow the church's mission and ministry statement which emphasizes the Great Commission of 'making disciples' at home, in the community, and throughout the world.
The purpose of Concordia Lutheran School is to provide Christian education in partnership with parents so that through Word and sacrament by grace through faith Children receive faith through the work of the Holy Spirit, grow in their relationship with God, understand their worthiness comes only from being a child of God, and have the assurance of eternal life, Children are equipped to worship, share their faith with others, and serve God and His people using the gifts He has given them, Children are provided training for maximum spiritual, academic, physical, emotional, and social growth, with due recognition for individual differences through the various stages of development. Concordia Lutheran School recognizes all children as created by God and redeemed by our Lord Jesus Christ.
Unfortunately, even the redeemed child of God sins and does not always conform to the will of God in Scripture.
According to Scripture, while it becomes necessary for those in authority to administer discipline in an attempt to encourage the child of God in a proper relationship with God as well as with fellow peers, the whole purpose of discipline then is to show a child of God his erring ways that he may see his mistake and repent through the administration of the Gospel of God's forgiving grace through Christ Jesus.
The Gospel is the means by which a student can change his lifestyle.
