    1. A belief in an eternal, loving, and personal God who is all-powerful and the source of life, truth, beauty and Christian values.

  2. Promotion of the need for restoration of God’s image in human beings through Christian education, which is by perfecting faith in Jesus Christ so that the divine purpose in His creation might be realized.

  3.  Attention to the harmonious development of the physical, the social, the mental and the spiritual powers which make a student a mature, rational being for mutual relationship in brotherhood and the joy of service in both this life and the hereafter.

  4. Provision of a conducive environment to the realization of self as the dwelling place of God’s Spirit to reflect a positive model that glorifies God and makes Him more real to others through godlikeness in character and a healthful lifestyle.
