Overview
The mission of the Lancaster Baptist School is to assist parents in equipping their students to be balanced citizens prepared to impact their homes, churches, and communities for Christ.
Our school is a ministry of Lancaster Baptist Church and is designed to help families rear their children for Christian service.
Our approach is a complementary one. God has established the family as the principle entity to train children, with the church serving as a second platform of spiritual training and leadership development for the family.
The Christian school provides a third source of godly influence.
The first and strongest emphasis is the spiritual nature of the child and family.
The second emphasis is on academics. The third and fourth areas of emphasis are on proper physical and social development.
Desert Christian Schools provides a Christian education experience for children, youth and adults in the Antelope Valley.
Physical, emotional, social, spiritual and intellectual needs are met through a variety of learning opportunities.
As a result of our ministry, individuals will develop a God-centered world view with the ability to apply biblical principles to everday decisions.
