College/University - Greensboro, NC, US
Our first building and students in 1971. The vision for a Christian school was begun by Pastor David Oates of Jones Memorial Baptist Church (the former name of Vandalia Baptist Church). His concerns over the depraved condition of the public schools prompted him to start the school. He cited three specific reasons for starting the school: education in a Christian atmosphere, spiritual training, and evangelism. Vandalia Christian School, a non-profit ministry of Vandalia Baptist Church, began in 1970 with a kindergarten class that met in the church. On August 25, 1971, the school opened for grades kindergarten through 10th with over 300 students. In 1980, the ministry purchased additional land and the construction of a multipurpose building housing classrooms, office space, cafeteria, library, music room, and gymnasium was completed. In 1982, Donnie Oates became pastor of Vandalia Baptist Church and served as school administrator for 14 years. In 1996, Dr. Mark Weatherford joined the staff as principal and later became the administrator. A 16 classroom elementary building was added in 2000 and an additional gymnasium and storage facility was completed in 2003. Pastor Oates, Mr. Cordova, Mrs. Herriage and Dr. Weatherford, round out our administrative staff. Philosophy of Christian Education. True education is Biblical and Christian as found in the Word of God and centered around the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is that education or training that is based upon and seeks to incorporate Biblical truths and principles in every area of life through the medium of teaching by word and deed to guide every individual to maturity in Christ. Distinctives. Every school is defined and known by distinctive hallmarks or distinguishing qualities. The prominent compelling trait of a Christian school that successfully impacts students is a divinely empowered school climate where students are spiritually and intellectually equipped to serve Christ.
