Philosophy of Education

As Creator of the Universe, God is the author of life and holds the key to the mysteries of life. The interdependence of all elements of nature are best understood and interpreted in a God-Creator-Sustainer economy. The entire system of nature is one of order. Only an orderly mind could be responsible for this occurrence of order.

Man, among the highest order of God's creation, has been given a mind that is capable of a knowledge of and communication with the God of creation. Man is constantly searching for complete understanding of himself and the universe in which he lives. While man is capable of great understanding, there are limits placed on his understanding in this life.

Man is to occupy the earth until Christ returns to end history and time. Until then, for man to study God’s creation is to engage in worship to the Creator, gaining knowledge of all the materials and forces which make up man and his environment. This includes physical, mental and spiritual areas of knowledge. All such knowledge which leads to a better understanding of God and man and the universe is good.

Experiences form another part of man's purpose on earth. Historically, man is a product of prior events, both those ordained by God and those resulting from disobedience to God. A study of those events aids in understanding the present and increases man's ability to plan for the future.
