Our Faith

​​​​​​Christ Centered Education

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works." 2 Timothy 3:16-17

The foundation upon which this school has been built is the Word of God, as set out in the Bible. We believe that the absolute truths expressed in God’s Word provide a stable framework around which young people can build their lives.

Our school community believes that Christian values are important and want our children to develop these values during the formative years of their lives.

Good Shepherd Christian School is committed to providing quality Christian education at an affordable price. The School Board has developed an infrastructure to enable the teaching programs of the School to keep pace with rapid educational change and equip children for their future.

God’s Word indicates that there is a plan and a purpose for all people and the unique gifts and talents of each child are treasured and nurtured by the staff.

Through our pedagogical framework, Good Shepherd Christian School seeks to equip young people to make Godly decisions and to express the qualities of Christ.

It is important to recognise that the education of young children is a shared responsibility where all stakeholders must be committed to the vision of equipping young lives for eternity.

We desire to complement the very important role of parents by providing a school environment that is safe, considerate and encouraging. It is our experience that when this is achieved, success will follow.

 

What We Believe

  • We believe in one God who eternally exists in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, each being co-equal in power and glory. The three are one God though separate in personality and work.

  • We believe in the deity, virgin birth, and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. Being one personality in the Godhead, we therefore believe He is God.

  • We believe that salvation is found only in Jesus Christ. Salvation is by grace alone. This salvation must be received personally, by faith, and those that believe have, according to the Scriptures, received the new birth.

  • We believe in a literal thousand year millennial reign by Christ on earth during which time Satan will be bound. We believe this millennial reign takes place after the seven year tribulation period.

  • We believe the Holy Spirit is the third personality of the Godhead.

  • We believe He convicts men of sin, righteousness and judgment, that He is the necessary and supernatural agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ, and indwelling and sealing them unto the Day of Redemption.

  • We do not believe the evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit is speaking in tongues.
