Faith Integration at LCS

Faith integration is what sets Christian education apart and is a pillar of the LCS curriculum. It is at the core of fulfilling our Mission, as we define excellence in education as both providing an academically challenging environment and equipping students to exalt God and follow Christ in all of life.

It is exciting to be a part of a community that combines education and faith. We are passionate about fostering student learning within the framework of Christian faith. To truly embody our mission and vision, we must give students the opportunity to recognize God’s design and ongoing work within the grand biblical narrative of Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration. Students are then invited to join God in this work by playing their role in His ongoing story of restoration.

This means connecting students’ daily learning to this biblical story in every classroom and subject. At LCS, it begins with teaching from a place of Deep Hope for both ourselves and our students—a clear expression of why we are called to Lansing Christian School and what drives our passion for the grades or subjects we teach. A teacher’s Deep Hope serves as a guiding North Star, shaping our lesson plans and interactions with students, always illuminating God’s presence in the content we teach.

During Parent Night, parents heard teachers share their Deep Hopes as part of their introductions. Some parents had the chance to reflect on or share their own Deep Hope for their children. As we continue into the school year—deepening learning and settling into routines— we encourage parents to watch for the ways this hope is lived out in their child’s learning. We are honored to partner with parents in the journey of Christian education!
