School Profile
Jackson Christian School, Jackson MI
School Overview
The mission statement of JCS is "Equipping Students to Impact the World for Christ."
The philosophy below is a good overview of the view of the ministry at JCS.
“Beware lest any man spoils you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” Apostle Paul, Colossians 2:8
Education, by its very nature, teaches values. By their very nature, teachers intentionally and unintentionally pass on their opinions to their students. The Scriptures teach us that all society expresses a worldview (philosophy) that ignores God and virtually all Christian thought. In our nation today, the media and secular educators shape the
majority of our national opinion.
Jackson Christian School is a haven where students are given the freedom to form their worldview in harmony with the teaching they discover in God’s Word. God is on a mission to impart truth, knowledge, understanding, and wisdom into the minds and hearts of His children. He does this through the home, church, and school. We were created in God’s image, enjoying His teachings and His teachings alone. However, we have fallen from that high and lofty position. We are now a fallen race living in a fallen world. God has chosen to leave His children in the world, yet we should not let the world educate us that we might think like them and act like them. We are to believe, behave, and teach so that the world changes from its philosophies and embraces the teachings of Christ.
