what we believe
Salem Lutheran School's Core Christian Beliefs: Through a lutheran lense
Salem Lutheran School is a primiary ministry of Salem Lutheran Church. Here at Salem, we believe, teach, and confess the following spiritual trusts:
Grace alone
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
by faith alone
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance of what we do not see. (Hebrews 11:1)
through scripture alone
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God amy be thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
in christ alone
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6)
besides these truths, your children will also know and experience that they are
sTUDENT FOCUSED
NURTURING
Salem Lutheran School provides a safe environment in which to learn and grow. Current research has proven what we already knew – that a safe, structured, nurturing and predictable environment in which a child feels secure, sets the stage for optimal learning.
EMPOWERING
Faith, ethics and leadership drive our efforts. We strive to provide our student body with a foundation of faith in a triune God, examples of Christian ethics within the school environment and the working community. We make it a top priority to offer opportunities for leadership roles at all grade levels as practice for real life situations.
INNOVATING
Integrating faith and technology into our everyday world helps us meet the students where they are. Intentionally developing skills of collaboration, focus, creativity, writing, project-based learning and critical thinking helps the students develop both individually and as a group. Using research-based strategies to engage our students in their learning has proven to be overwhelmingly successful as our eighth graders enter high school. Our goal is to create successful, independent life-long learners.
