What is your school's mission? Why does your Christian school exist?
The mission of my school is to provide an excellent, Christ centered education for the families of the Glynn County.
We are a school providing educational services to families in our region, but we are much more than that. We offer an excellent, rigorous, top notch education. But all of this would be for not if it wasn't centered on Jesus Christ and thoroughly Christian in every subject and at every grade level.
We are a Christian school with a unique mission that is different than the mission of a church, Christian publisher, counseling practice, or international missions organization.
Yet it easy to lose focus as life at a school gets extremely busy. Discipline situations, fund raising events, marketing strategies, athletic competitions, faculty meetings, e-mail requests, and so much more demand our attention. If we do not remain focused, we can easily lose track of our foundational values and fundamental goals.
That is why every Christian school needs a mission statement that reminds us of our purpose and helps shape every employee, initiative, and program at our school.
A mission statement helps us keep Christ central, calls us to pursue excellence, and keeps us focused on the families we are called to serve.
What is your school's mission statement? How does it shape your school?
