Our Mission and Core Values – Maranatha Christian Academy

Our Mission & Core Values

Our Mission

Maranatha Christian Academy passionately strives to create an educational haven where children are embraced by Christ’s love and guided by His teachings. Our mission is to lead them to a profound relationship with Jesus, instill a deep reverence for God’s Word, and equip them with the academic and spiritual tools they need to navigate their life’s journey as faithful and compassionate individuals.

Our Core Values

Excellence: The Standard

”Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters…” Colossians 3:23_ At Maranatha Christian Academy, we set the bar high, driven by the belief that our pursuits should reflect the excellence we strive for in all areas of life. Our commitment to excellence is a reflection of our dedication to honoring God through our efforts, ensuring that every endeavor is undertaken with unwavering dedication and a passion to glorify Him.

Grace: The Gift

”For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.” Ephesians 3:8-9 Understanding the profound gift of God’s grace, we cultivate an atmosphere of acceptance, forgiveness, and love within our community. Grace is the foundation of our interactions, reminding us that we are all recipients of God’s unmerited favor and bound by a common need for His love and redemption.

Integrity: The Principle

“The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.” Proverbs 11:3_ Integrity is the compass that guides our actions. Upholding honesty, transparency, and moral strength, we instill in our students the importance of aligning their actions with their beliefs. We recognize that true success is rooted in integrity and the consistency between what we profess and how we live.

Love: The Greatest

“Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” Matthew 22:37-39_ Love is our guiding force. Our commitment to loving God and loving others shapes our interactions, teaching us to approach one another with compassion, empathy, and kindness. We celebrate the love that binds us as a community and reflects the very essence of Christ’s teachings.

Purpose: The Wonder

”I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful; I know that full well.” Psalm 139:14_ Recognizing the divine purpose within each individual, we foster an environment of discovery and exploration. We celebrate the uniqueness of every student, encouraging them to embrace their God-given talents and potential, while understanding the wonder of their creation.

Serve: The Choice

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10 Service is at the heart of our identity. We teach our students the joy of serving others, embodying the principles of Christ by utilizing their gifts to make a positive impact on their communities and the world.

Truth: The Foundation

“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17_ Guided by the unchanging truth of God’s Word, we nurture a foundation of biblical wisdom and knowledge. We empower our students to think critically, engage in meaningful dialogue, and apply the teachings of Scripture to navigate life’s challenges with wisdom and discernment.

At Maranatha Christian Academy, these core values form the essence of who we are – a community dedicated to excellence, grace, integrity, love, purpose, service, and truth. They serve as our compass, guiding us on the journey of faith and education as we prepare students to impact the world for Christ.
