Educational Philosophy: I believe that Lutheran Education is a remarkable opportunity to make an eternal difference in the lives of children and families. I believe that children needs a safe and loving environment in which to grow and learn about the world God created. Education is about leading children to discover their individual strengths while growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. It has been my greatest joy to see children grow into young adults who are accomplished scholars, confident leaders and bold and courageous witnesses for Jesus. "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for the salvation to all who believe." Romans 1:16
