Atonement Lutheran School is a ministry of Lutheran Church of the Atonement in teaching and modeling the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We assist parents and the Church in fulfilling the sacred vows made at the time of Holy Baptism regarding the Christian training of their children, for the equipment of the saints, for the work of ministry, and for the building up of the body of Christ. Our Lord says:
- "And these words which I command you this day shall be upon your heart; and you shall teach them diligently to your children..." Deuteronomy 6:6-7."...let the children come to me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Mark 10:14."Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of theSon and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." Matthew 28:19-20.
We seek to help each child develop spiritually, morally, emotionally, intellectually, socially, and physically as fully as possible. Our objective for each child is maximum personal growth in all these areas so that she or he may competently meet the challenges of life and discover the full joy of a life in Christ's service.
One of the school's goals is to aid the home, not to replace it, in meeting the responsibility God has given parents to bring up a child in the training and instruction of the Lord, as Paul writes to the Ephesians, "Fathers-bring your children up in the training and instruction of the Lord." Ephesians 6:4.
