In addition to integrating our Christian perspective in every subject/activity, we also provide students with a Bible class and curriculum.
With the goal of developing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, the role of teaching Bible in a Christian school is to equip students with Bible knowledge, to encourage students to apply these truths to their lives and to actively serve God and others in His world.
The Bible is God's story, and teaching the Bible helps us to see how we fit into His story.
At Rock Valley Christian School, we desire to have our students develop a personal relationship with Christ and His people, with the help of the Holy Spirit. we want our students to know the Word, believe the Word, and live the Word. We want them to develop faith-nurturing habits to deepen their Christian lives, including personal devotions, daily prayer, and using Scripture to discern the cultural influences they encounter each day. We will encourage students to recognize God's plan and to see His grace in their lives and in the world.
