1. Theological
The scriptural argument is clear—Christian discipleship is the primary calling and priority of the church. The service and contributions to families, congregations, and the common good are profound. By starting schools, churches can significantly enhance their service and contributions to families, congregations, and the broader community. Christian discipleship is central to the church’s mission, and schools provide a daily environment for reinforcing virtue.
2. Historical
The church has a rich history of commitment to education, providing a robust precedent for modern Christians. Today, we are grossly out of step with this historical mission, highlighting the need for a renewed focus on conservative Christian educational initiatives.
3. Cultural
In today’s shifting cultural climate and increasing secularization, there is a pressing need for strategic Christian engagement. Schools can act as outposts for upholding Christian principles, equipping students to thoughtfully and effectively engage with the world.
4. Strategic
There has never been a better time for educational reform in America. With growing dissatisfaction among parents, schools failing to teach reading and writing at grade level, and other contributing factors, church-led schools are becoming an increasingly favorable option. The urgency and importance of this issue are greater than ever before.
