As with most Christian schools, The Frankfort Christian
Academy has a mission statement that guides our instruction and decision-making: “The Frankfort Christian Academy partners with Christian parents to provide a
Biblically integrated education which equips students to embrace biblical
truth, to strive for academic excellence and to exemplify Christ-like
servanthood in homes, churches and communities.” Often times, however, the
intention of a mission statement can be lost in the wordiness. Therefore we
must take it apart to focus on its true meaning, asking the question “What is
it that we truly want for our students at TFCA?”
LOVE
More than anything, we want students at the The Frankfort
Christian Academy to know that they are loved. In Mathew 22:37-39, Jesus tells
us that the greatest commandment is to “love the LORD your God with all your
heart and with all your soul and with all your mind”, he goes on to tell us
that the second greatest commandment is to “love your neighbor as yourself”. We want our students to see the love of Christ
in our teachers, administration, and in fellow students. We want our students
to know that God loves them and that they need to share that love with others.
LEARN
At The Frankfort Christian Academy we want our students to
learn about God and His WORD. Not only do we educate the mind, but also the
spirit. In order to do this, we must go beyond rote memorization of scripture
and provide life-application examples for our students. God’s Word and its
impact must be interwoven into every subject area. As it says in Psalm 86:11 “Teach me your
ways, O LORD, that I may live according to your truth!” we too
must help our students discern Truth, and use it to guide their choices. True
learning must be more than words; it must be a tangible relationship with
Christ.
LEAD
We want students at The Frankfort Christian Academy to lead
others to Christ. The Great Commission
in Mathew 28:19 commands us to “go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”. Our
prayer for each student is that as they graduate from our school they may go
forth into the world and make an impact for Christ. Regardless as to where God
calls them to serve, our students will carry Christ’s love and the wisdom of
God’s Word with them, and they will be confident to share their faith with
others.
At The Frankfort Christian Academy we want our students to
see “LOVE. LEARN. LEAD.” embodied in our teachers, parents, staff and
administration. “LOVE. LEARN. LEAD.” is more than a mission statement, it is a
lifestyle that shapes the culture of our school.
“I pray that your love will keep on growing
and that you will fully know and understand how to make the right
choices. Then you will still be pure and innocent when Christ returns” Philippians 1:9-10 (CEV)
