About Credo We believe that Christian education is a vital aspect of God's mission to the church through the Great Commission of Jesus Christ. (Matthew 28:18-20) We believe that it is our Christian responsibility to teach the gospel and to reach out to all people, churched and unchurched. (Colossians 3:16-18) We believe that the Christian teacher has a key opportunity to be used by God to bring spiritual rebirth to a child and perhaps an entire family. We believe that this can be accomplished by teaching the child Christian principles. (Matthew 19:14) We believe that effective education occurs through quality innovative learning programs that relate the Christian faith to every aspect of life. (Ephesians 6:4) We believe that it is the responsibility of the Christian educator to evangelize churched and unchurched preschool children and their families because the family has much influence on a child's total education. The church and the school must equip families for their important role in Christian education. (Proverbs 22:6) Mission Faith Lutheran Preschool & Extended Care exist to promote Christian Education as a vital aspect of God's Great Commission to reach people with the message of Jesus Christ. Vision Our Preschool and Extended Care exists as a ministry of Faith Lutheran Church to the children and parents of the congregation and the community.
