Village SDA Elementary School has been an important part of our Village SDA Church life.
Within a year of organizing as a church family in October of 1914, our Village family sensed the importance of providing Christian education for our own children.
Those four teachers and 125 students who comprised the first school were part of a dream that has continued to live in our hearts through the passing of time.
Village SDA Elementary School mission is to pass to our children our faith, our commitment to Jesus, our responsibility to the world around us.
That task is accomplished most effectively when our children's spiritual and academic growth are combined to strengthen church, home, and school ties.
We desire to have our children with us as a fellowship of believers, a church/school family worshiping together, working together, growing together, a family dedicated to Jesus and committed to each other in preparation for His second coming.
We desire our children to believe in the teachings of Christ's church, to share in its gospel commission to the world, and our community, and to dedicate their lives to fulfill the mission Christ has set for them.
