The purpose of Messiah Lutheran School is to assist parents with the Christian education of their children.
This task involves the application of God's inspired and inerrant Word throughout the school day.
Children need to be trained in the way they should go, namely, in the Lord's way.
Therefore, children need the correction, guidance, discipline, and security, which only God's Word can give.
At Messiah it is our goal that children entrusted into our care will grow in the knowledge and love of our Savior from sin and become useful citizens.
In order to serve the Lord with their abilities and talents, the students at Messiah are taught that they have good reason to learn of God's orderly creation and of God's continual working in the affairs of the world around us.
Our chief goal in education is, with the help of God, to strengthen the child in his faith, to increase his knowledge of God's word offered in the inspired Scriptures, and to enable him to strive out of gratitude to live his life according to God's will.
For this reason, the teaching of the Word of God is all-important, for it makes us wise unto salvation though faith, which is in Christ Jesus.
From a child “you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
