Gulf Coast Christian School exists in order to provide
students with the opportunity to grow and mature, “as Jesus did, in wisdom, and
in statue, in favor with God and man.” This guiding principle incorporates into
a curriculum designed to guide students to develop spiritually, mentally,
physically, and socially.
The foundation of Gulf Coast Christian School is the belief that God and His son
Jesus are creators and sustainers of all, as the Godhead – Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit. Jesus, the Word, became flesh and was sent for the purpose of saving
mankind. We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God given to us
through the Holy Spirit guiding the writings of men. We believe the Bible is our
guide for living and daily decision making.
Gulf Coast Christian School was founded on the belief that man has a divine
origin that he was created in the image of God, and that man has moral freedom
and responsibility. We believe that man is saved by God’s grace through belief
in and obedience to God’s word.
We believe that Christ is our example for our relationship to the world. Our
view is toward an eternal life with God.
We believe that each student will be able to develop to his full potential and
learn most efficiently when curricula and practices are developmentally
appropriate and by consistently experiencing success in their efforts. We
believe students learn Christian values by identifying with the Christian
attitudes and conduct modeled by faculty and staff.
The role of the parents in the education of their children is critical to the
success of the curricula of Gulf Coast Christian School. Parents are respected
as primary teachers of their children and valued for their essential role in
God’s plan for the family unit. The school utilizes many methods to maintain
close communication between school and home. Parents are encouraged to take an
active role in school life through participation in PTFA
(Parent/Teacher/Friend/Association), classroom volunteer activities, and all
school functions.
Gulf Coast Christian School has maintained a relationship with the church since
its establishment. Faculty and staff are involved in a spiritual ministry as
well as the educational process. The school seeks to be of service to the
surrounding community and the area churches of Christ.
