As a school with a Christ-centered mission, Christ Methodist Day School believes it is our Biblical obligation to lead our students in modeling all that Jesus has commanded of us.
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” – Mark 12:30-31
We look to God’s Word for the basis and context to define different parameters of GRACE.
Image of God: God made each of us uniquely, so we should be kind and not compare or brag.
Psalm 139:13, Joshua 24:15, Jeremiah 29:11, 1 Timothy 4:12, Galatians 3:28
Race & Responsibility: God sees our differences and calls them ‘good’, so we treat everyone with love and fairness.
Genesis 1:27, Acts 17:26, Luke 10:25-37, Proverbs 31:8-9, James 2:1-6,
Aware & Able: God sees our differences and calls them ‘good’, so we treat everyone with love and fairness. I will be aware of others who are different from me.
Exodus 4:11, Philippians 2:3, 1 Corinthians 12:22-23, Luke 14:12, Jeremiah 18
Curiosity Through Culture: God created culture so we can express our worship and gratitude towards Him differently.
Revelation 7:9, 1 Corinthians 12:4-6, Psalms 86:9
Economic, Empathy & Equity: God owns everything and allows humans to manage different portions so that we become good stewards
Proverbs 11:24, Proverbs 14:31, Ecclesiastes 6:14, Isaiah 58:7, 1 John 3:17, Psalms 41:1
Helping students, and adults, to respect and celebrate the differences that God has woven into each of us – while simultaneously enjoying the oneness we enjoy as children of God – is one of the greatest ways CMDS can prepare its students to appreciate their Creator, and to live in and to impact this increasingly diverse world.
