DEEP ROOTS, STRONG TIMBERS: Psalm 1 & 127
OUR MISSIONThe purpose of Timbers is to train and educate students and their families to center their lives around Christ and His word. In that they would grow deep spiritual roots, be fruitful, and be well equipped for the building of God's kingdom.
Psalm 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Psalm 127: 1 Unless the Lord builds the house those who build it labor in vain. ~Deep Roots, Strong Timbers~ |
OUR VISION-K-12 Christ-Centered Biblical Education. We are not a ministry that just adds Christ to curriculum, Christ is our curriculum, and it drives all our learning.
-Help students graduate students that are well equipped and educated to prosper in the ways of the Lord. -Train and equip parents to serve Christ and place Him at the center of their home. -Provide support and knowledge for home-schooling families as they pursue the act of schooling children at home. -Encourage students to have a heart for the lost, a willingness to serve, both locally & globally, and have a deep love and passion for God’s word. -To provide the families an alternative to the current public school system. -Cultivate a network of parents that are involved in their children’s education and see the church as a support system. -Allow opportunities for those that attend 9-Mile church to mentor younger students through the sharing of gifts, talents, and abilities in a variety of subject areas. |
OUR PHILOSOPHY
At Timbers we place Christ at the center of our curriculum, and therefore we feel very passionate that any subject we teach comes from that same passion. We also get really bored when subjects are taught without passion. That is why we begin each year as a leadership team working on things we are both passionate about, and know enough about it to share with our students. This is why each year is different, and each year engaging to students.
Christ-Centered
A. Teach all subjects as parts of an integrated whole with the Scriptures at the center. [II Timothy 3:16-17; Colossians 1:15-20]B. Provide a clear model of the biblical Christian life through our staff and board. [Matthew 22:37-40, Matthew 5:13-16]
C. Encourage every child to begin and develop his relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ. [Matthew 28:18-20; Matthew 19:13-15]
Classical
As we use it here the word “classical” refers to the structure and form of the education we provide. It also refers to the content of the studies.
A. Emphasize grammar, logic and rhetoric in all subjects.
B. Encourage every student to develop a love for learning and live up to his academic potential.
C. Provide an orderly atmosphere conducive to the attainment of the above goals.
