The Bible is the inerrant, inspired Word of God.

The Triune God is one God, in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We are all sinners, not able to keep God's Law, yet God wants all to be saved.

We cannot save ourselves, but the Holy Spirit calls us to faith through the Gospel.

Faith in Jesus Christ as our Savior is our hope for salvation.

Baptism, a means of Grace, is intended for all ages.

Professing believers receive the Lord's Supper for the strengthening of the faith and for growth in godliness.

PURPOSE & CHARACTERISTICS CREDO

We, the members of St. Pauls Lutheran Church, believe:

That Christian education is not a matter of choice, but a command from God Himself, and that Christian parents must seek the best available means whereby they can supplement their own responsibilities and efforts in fulfilling the Great Commission to their own children and to the children of others.

That St. Pauls Lutheran School, as a fellowship of believers, exists within the framework of the Body of Christ and experiences all the benefits and powers of Christs Body.

That St. Pauls Lutheran School, as an agency of Christian education within the Christian congregation, provides a setting for the child, the parent, the teacher, and the pastor, along with other children, parents, teachers, and pastors, to fulfill their individual callings as members of the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints.

That St. Pauls Lutheran School employs professionally trained Christian teachers dedicated to quality Christian education who approach their lives and that of their students as being eternal.

That St. Pauls Lutheran Schools chief purpose for existence is to teach the Christian faith over an extended period of time through instruction in Gods Word.

That St. Pauls Lutheran School provides the child the opportunity to witness as they relate their faith in a school setting to all aspects of life: social, emotional, mental, and physical; and thus equips them for their role as a Christian citizen in home, church, community, state, nation, and world, knowing that the world and the people in it are objects of Gods love.

That St. Pauls Lutheran School provides both teacher and learner the opportunity to glorify God and that it therefore radiates a quality of excellence in scholarship by providing an atmosphere that is conducive to optimum education, both spiritual and secular.

That St. Pauls Lutheran School provides the best available means whereby parents can provide their children with a Christ-centered education in both spiritual and secular subjects without sacrificing quality education.
