The purpose of Lafayette Christian School is to equip young people to live a Christian life of service in this world and to be transforming agents in the Kingdom of God. It is our belief that God directly commands that children of Christian parents be trained in the fear of the Lord. The authority and responsibility for this training of children resides in the community of Christians and with the parents in particular. Parents may, however, seek cooperation of the Christian church and teachers who are competent to assist in carrying out God's command.
