MISSION OF FCS

Fayette Christian School exists to partner with the home and church to equip students to LEARN from a Biblical worldview, LIVE in Christ-centered community, 

and LAUNCH to impact the world for the Kingdom of God.

KINGDOM EDUCATION


WHAT IS KINGDOM EDUCATION?

Kingdom education is defined as the lifelong, Bible-based, Christ-centered process of leading a child into a new identity with Christ. Kingdom education works to develop children according to their specific abilities so that a child will be empowered to live a life characterized by love, trust and obedience to Christ. The ultimate goal of Kingdom education is to develop a mature disciple of Jesus Christ whose life glorifies God.


WHERE DOES KINGDOM EDUCATION COME FROM?

Our Kingdom education philosophy was pulled from God’s Word. The Bible provides each and every Christian with the principles needed to put Kingdom education into practice. In order to achieve Kingdom education, these biblical principles must be studied, understood and practiced in every aspect of life. 


HOME | CHURCH | SCHOOL

Kingdom education takes place when educational principles, that God has revealed in Scripture, are consistently and holistically practiced in the central environments of a child’s life. We are committed to impacting each of these environments through our ministry. A solid foundation for the next generation is built when the same Biblical truths and values are taught in the home, church, and school.
