The Home
PHILOSOPHY OF THE CHRISTIAN HOME:
The Christian Home is one in which the knowledge of the scriptures and application of biblical principles are a priority. A commitment to Christ and to spiritual growth is evidenced by personal Bible study and prayer and by faithful participation in a local church. Parents endeavor to apply biblical principles in the rearing of their children. All children belong to God and are put under the authority of their parents. It is then the parents' responsibility to educate that child (Deut. 11:18-19; Eph. 6:4, Ps. 78:1-8, Ps. 127:3-5, Prov. 19:27). The parent will be the one judged for the child's education not the school, government, or church. Because of this fact, it is vital that the home be where the education begins. The home needs to be Christian in its manner of attitude, conduct, and worship. It is the parents' decisions to have the church or school take over some of the teaching process and to work hand in hand in developing the child. The school also should be in line with the Christian home.
