The mission of Cullman Christian School is to serve the Christian community by providing an academically rigorous education with a biblical world and life view. Just as the Christian faith is a hope-bringing and life-changing reality, so the Christian school's purpose is to educate from this perspective and to train future leaders who will share this reality in their life's vocation.

Our Educational Principles

God Father, Son, and Holy Spirit reveals Himself in Scripture and in creation. Without Him life is meaningless and education is incomplete. Education is the process wherein a child is taught to know the truth of God, to apply that truth to all of life, and to evaluate life by that truth.

Responsibility for education rests upon parents. They may delegate a part of this responsibility to schools to carry forward their God-given task. Teaching is a calling for those equipped by the Lord for this work and who evidence a love for children and a mastery of their subject.

Academic excellence glorifies God. He has commanded us to love Him with our minds and has given us this world for our dominion. Education should challenge students intellectually and make use of the best curriculum and methods in the study of every subject.

Our understanding is that God the Creator is the author of every discipline. All science, literature, math, history, etc. points to God and are not independent of Him. Our children get 30 plus hours with instructors, curriculum, and other children who impact their values and point of view each week.

Even secular humanists opposed to Christianity realize the impact of the classroom, as C. F. Potter, an original signer of the Humanist Manifesto observed, "Education is thus a most powerful ally of humanism, and every American public school is a school of humanism. What can the theistic Sunday Schools, meeting for an hour once a week, and teaching only a fraction of the children, do to stem the tide of a five-day program of humanistic teaching?"

Unfortunately, this is appears correct as current data show that 60-90% of Christian students abandon the Christian faith when they go off to college. They have no foundation for their faith and lack a Biblical worldview. As part of their Truth Project, Focus on the Family recently released a Barna survey which shows that only 9% of Christians have a Biblical world view. Christian school is about teaching our children to think like Christians in all things and is a full time job. Compartmentalizing God or the Bible to a "Sunday only" thing is counter to God's command to transform and renew our minds. Because of this, it is the belief of Christian leaders such as Josh McDowell that Christian schools are the future of the Church in America.
