Lancaster Baptist School

Our school is a ministry of Lancaster Baptist Church designed to help families train their children for Christian service. God has established the family as the principal entity to train children, with the church serving as a second platform of spiritual training and leadership development for the family. This arrangement is truly successful only if the direction being set by all three is in agreement. For this reason, it is vital that parents agree with the doctrine and philosophy of Lancaster Baptist Church, which are held wholly by Lancaster Baptist School, as well. A child, placed in an environment in which the family follows a direction contrary to that of the church and the school, is a child given to much confusion and strife within his own thoughts and actions. It should be understood that our primary goal is to produce and develop servant leaders for Christ. Students are led to develop the “mind of Christ” (Philippians 2:5) in their lives. A key reason for the existence of Christian education is to establish an environment that will develop a sound biblical worldview. The Lancaster Baptist School has developed a program to minister to the complete student. This is accomplished through four areas of emphasis:

The first and strongest emphasis is the spiritual growth of the child and family. The clear teaching of the Bible is the best foundation for learning. The Bible is not only taught as a class, but also permeates every other subject. We endeavor to introduce each child to Christ and to direct children and families to thoroughly know and live the Bible. The second emphasis is on academics. The school uses a traditional, time-tested, rigorous Christian curriculum. We provide a superior academic climate and promote academic excellence to best prepare students to fulfill God’s will for their lives. The third and fourth areas of emphasis are proper social and physical development. The school sponsors fine arts competitions, musicals, and seasonal programs teaching our students to exalt Christ with their God-given talents, abilities, and skills. Our physical education and athletic programs are continually expanding to meet the needs of our students.
