Nurturing the whole child

At Lighthouse, we are concerned with nurturing the whole child. Our mission statement says:

Lighthouse Christian School exists to glorify God by providing quality, Christ-centered education that will nurture students to become spiritually minded, academically versed, socially balanced, and equipped to make a positive impact in their community to the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

...nurture that leads to spiritual, academic and social growth...that's our mission! As families are passionate about their children's well being, they do not always show the same passion for the spiritual aspects as mentioned in a Barna study.

With the 2008 presidential election campaign well underway, the latest Barna survey suggests that the biggest issue of them all may well be one that leaders do not seem to be focused upon: the well-being of America’s children.

Meanwhile, the survey indicates that among the issues perceived to be least significant are those related to the moral and spiritual condition of the nation. Evangelicals were substantially different from the rest of the nation in their views on many issues, and there were other staggering differences in perspective reflected among several other key population groups. To find out where Americans want the nation to focus in the future, read this week’s update at www.barna.org.
