The purpose of St Jacobi Lutheran Elementary School is to assist parents in meeting their God-given responsibility to bring up their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4).
In so doing, we intend to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Savior of the world, to all students.
Since the school is a mission arm of the congregation, it is our intent to reach out into the community with that same Gospel by making a distinctly Christian education available to families who have the need for a church and school home to nourish and cultivate their spiritual lives with the Word of God.
Our purpose is carried out by using the Holy Scriptures as: (1) the single basis for the formation of our entire curriculum, and (2) the center for all extracurricular activities.

School Notes
Who was St. Jacobi Those who know the German language may
recognize "Jacobi" as "James". St. Jacobi is referring to St.
James. What do we believe "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of
wisdom." Psalm 111:10 "Train up a child in the way he should go and
when he is old he will not turn from it." Proverbs 22:6 These
passages imply that the first and foremost concern parents should
have in educating their children is that they be taught God's Word.
The primary responsibility for this education belongs to the
parents (Deuteronomy 6:6-7). The Lord further directs fathers to
bring up their children "In the training and instruction of the
Lord" (Ephesians 6:4). In order to carry out this directive,
regular study of God's Word is essential. Since the church has been
commanded by Christ to make disciples of all nations (Matthew
28:10), each Christian congregation has the responsibility to aid
Christian parents in training their children according to the
Scriptures (Matthew 28:20a). This is the reason for the existence
of our Lutheran school system. Through it we make disciples of
future generations. All instruction at our school is based on the
Bible, the inerrant Word of God (John 10:35), which was given by
divine inspiration (2 Timothy 3:16) and is the source of ultimate
truth (John 17:17). Through the Bible we learn that the only true
God is triune, consisting of three distinct Persons (Matthew 28:18;
2 Corinthians 13:14) in one divine Being (Deutronomy 6:4). The work
of creation is attributed primarily to God the Father. We believe
and teach, as the Bible clearly states, God created the universe in
six twenty-four hour days (Genesis 1). God the Father also
continues to preserve His creation through the properties and
powers He gave it at creation. Through the Bible we also know that
although humans were created holy and righteous (Genesis 1:27),
people lost this sinless nature when Adam and Eve committed the
first sin (Roman 5:12). We now inherit a sinful nature at our
conception (Psalm 51:5; Genesis 8:21); thus, we are condemned to
eternal damnation, unable to save ourselves (Roman 3:23; Isaiah
64:6). Man, therefore, needs a Savior. God, in His love and mercy,
has provided the Savior in His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ
(John 3:16; Galatians 4:4-5), who is both true God, coequal with
God the Father (John 5:23), and true man (John 1:14). It is only
through faith in Him alone that we are saved (Acts 4:12). Saving
faith in Christ is given to us through the work of the Holy Spirit,
the third Person of the Triune Godhead (Titus 3:4-7; 1
Corinthians12:3). It is also through the work of the Holy Spirit
that we are able to bring forth good works as fruits of faith
(Galatians 5:22-23). In bringing forth these fruits of faith the
Holy Spirit will lead us to strive to do what the Lord expects of
us. God directs us to fear, love, and trust in Him above all things
(Psalm 33:8; Matthew 22:37; Psalm 37:5). He also directs us to
gather regularly with fellow Christians to hear His Word and
worship Him (Hebrew 10:25; Luke 11:28). A life of prayer is a fruit
of faith. In the name of Jesus we can confidently pray to our
Father knowing He will answer our prayers as is best for us (1 John
3:1; Matthew 7:7). We will also want to show our faith by daily
repenting of our sins, confident that they will be forgiven for the
Savior's sake (Psalm 51:17). Our faith will also be seen as we show
our love for our neighbor (Matthew 22:39); Ephesians 4:32) and our
eagerness to share the Gospel with him (Acts 4:20). Christian
education is a God-given blessing. It is our sincere prayer that
many will take advantage of this great blessing. For more details
