Other issues related to the beliefs and practices of Lamplight Christian School . . .
• We believe in the importance of true doctrine and the whole council of God taught in the inerrant Word of God, in the Protestant Bible.
• To maintain our position as a Bible believing, nondenominational school, we choose not to promote denominational positions which should be left to the teaching of the home and church. Lamplight’s position is that the faculty, staff, parents, and students will seek to remain united in the salvation and love of Jesus Christ. Teachers and staff will not share their convictions in grey or secondary-doctrinal areas without the prior approval of Administration.
