Jesus ROOTS. Every child GROWTH. You First LIGHT.
Mission Statement
As a part of 922 Ministries, St. Peter Lutheran School exists to help EVERY CHILD in its educational program:
- Plant JESUS ROOTS,
- Grow individually and wholistically, and
- Shine YOU FIRST light.
Educational Philosophy
EVERY CHILD. Each child is unique, created with special gifts, abilities, and purpose. God does this intentionally and lovingly! We celebrate, recognize, and promote flexibility for every child’s uniqueness in our classrooms and hallways.
THE WHOLE CHILD. Education is a wholistic endeavor because growth is a wholistic endeavor. Children need more than academic growth for life; they need academic, emotional, social, physical, and spiritual growth in order to thrive.
AS HIS CHILD. Every child is God’s child—created by God, redeemed by God, and sustained by God’s grace. Our mission is to help each child “plant Jesus Roots” and grow as his child their whole lives.
Culture Statement
As COMETS, we shine the YOU FIRST light of Jesus.
EVERYWHERE we go—in our classrooms or online, on the playground or in our hallways, in the gym or on the stage, at home and in our community.
To EVERYONE we meet—to our classmates and our teachers, our parents and families, our friends and those we struggle to love, our neighbors and those we don’t even know.
INTENTIONALLY and INDEPENDENTLY. We don’t wait to be told to turn on the light. We LOOK for ways to share YOU FIRST light every day.
For the GLORY of GOD. We love because HE FIRST loved us. We know that his way is always the best way for us, and that shining his light helps others see and experience his light, too!
“My favorite thing about school is getting to learn more and more about Jesus EVERY single day and also that I know that Jesus loves me and the whole school.”
