Statement of Nondiscrimination:
Trinity Christian School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin, to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship programs, athletic and other school-administered programs.
Dear Parents and Students:
We are pleased that you have chosen Trinity Christian School as your school. We consider it a great honor and privilege to share the responsibility of training your child. With privileges come responsibilities; therefore, we must have rules to guide our relationship.
The Bible is our guidebook which serves as our set of rules and shows us how to live the Christian life. Our prayer for your family is that God’s Word will have a strong impact upon your life.
We share a great burden for our school family; first for salvation of all our parents and students, and secondly for spiritual growth in each of our lives. On the following page you will find several passages of Scripture that will be a help to those who have never received Christ as their personal Savior.
Please call us if we can be of assistance to you. May the Lord bless you as you seek to educate your family in academic and Biblical principles.
Trinity Christian School was established in 1980 by the faithful members of Trinity Free Will Baptist Church in order to fulfill the God-ordained mandate to educate our children in the ways of our Lord Jesus Christ. As an important outreach ministry of the church, TCS has always been viewed as a work of the Holy Spirit and not a work of the flesh. It is the Lord’s school and includes preschool, elementary school, middle school, and high school levels.
