Philosophy

Salem Lutheran School is a mission arm of Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church established to assist parents with their God-given responsibilities of bringing up their children in God’s Word. In doing so, Salem provides a Christ-centered, quality education in the truths of God’s Word, in all secular subjects and through various extra-curricular activities. Students are guided to live their faith as a child of God and as a responsible citizen of the world.

We at Salem Lutheran School believe:

1. That the Bible is God's inspired and inerrant Word and the sole authority in faith and conduct (2 Peter 1:21; 2 Timothy 3:16; John 17:17; John 10:35)
2. That the world was created perfectly by God in six, twenty-four hour days (Genesis 1; Psalm 8: 4-8)
3. That since the fall into sin all are in need of God's forgiveness (Isaiah 64:6; Romans 3:9 - 19,23; Romans 5:12,16, Romans 6:23)
4. That God sent his Son, Jesus, as the only Savior from sin (John 3:16; Romans 5: 6-8, I John 2:2)
5. That the Holy Spirit brings us to faith in this Savior God by the power of his Word and baptism. (Romans 5:1;Romans 8:1; Titus 3: 4-7)
6. That the Christian will strive to show his love to God by using his gifts and talents to help spread the Word of God and show love to his neighbor (Matthew 25: 31-46; Matthew 28:19; Psalm 51: 10-13,15; 2 Corinthians 5:14,15)
7. And that the Lord gave parents the primary responsibility for training their children. (Deuteronomy 6:7-9; Ephesians 6:4)
