Zion Lutheran Child Care Center

At Zion Lutheran School we believe and teach the doctrine of the Triune God. God the Father is our Creator. He has made each of us unique and continues to preserve us through our entire life. Jesus Gods Son is our Savior and Lord. As Savior He lived under the Law suffered and died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins and rose again for our salvation. As Lord He rules our life and our actions are guided by what He would have us do. The Holy Spirit Third person of the Trinity calls us to faith through the means of Grace (Word and Sacrament) and keeps us in the faith. He fills us with power to be witnesses to the world in which we live.

We believe that God calls us to respond to His love through word and deed in our lives. God commands us to be the salt to preserve Christian education in our society; and to prepare disciples to live and witness to our world; to pattern our lives to reflect Jesus; to proclaim Christs life to all the world; to praise the Creator through thought word and deed; and to propagate the Christian faith for future generations.

We believe that it is our responsibility as a church to train up a child in the way that he should go (Proverbs 22:6). We do this through our Christ-centered day school program which teaches children the basics of the academic subjects and our Lutheran Christian faith. We do this in response to Gods command to go into all the world and preach the Gospel. We approach a childs education from the point of view that each child has unique talents and skills to be developed. We begin with each child where he is and take him as far as we can in their growth spiritually intellectually physically emotionally and socially. Spiritually we encourage children to know Jesus as their personal Savior and Lord and to live out their faith in service to Him and others. Intellectually we strive to develop a childs skills knowledge and abilities so he can become an active contributing member of our society. Physically we strive to develop a child who sees his body as a temple of the Holy Spirit and seeks to maintain an active healthy lifestyle. Emotionally we strive to develop a high level of self-esteem and an awareness of the uniqueness of all Gods children in His eyes. Socially we seek to provide opportunities where the child can learn skills of personal relationships so he can become a positive influence to his peers.

We believe that with the home school and church working together our students will grow in their Christian faith through active participation in worship services and witnessing their faith to others. Zion students will grow in their academics through the individualized attention given by teachers and special programs such as peer tutoring. Our students will grown emotionally and socially through involvement of our parents and various church groups in the activities and advancement of our school. Zion continues to provide support for our families through Bible studies and PTL programs.
