"For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things have been created by Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold toether. (Colossians 1:16-17)

 

Science is the study of God's creation. Science is not merely the study of things which are visible, nor is it a study of things which have come about of or by actions apart from Him. Therefore, the goal of the science program at Loudonville Christian School is to enable students to increase their knowledge and appreciation of the universe which God created, as well as the responsiblility of stewardship as it relates to man and creation.

Because creation was brought into existence by God's wisdom, and man was created as a part of it, he is called to understand and subdue it for His glory. Under God's authority he is to cultivate, care for and develop each aspect of the world in accordance with His revealed will. To rule over the earth as God commanded, students must acquire an organized and systematic scientific knowledge in line with available scriptural guidelines. By studying both God's physical laws and His creation in the light of Scripture, students will learn to apply their scientific knowledge in accordance with His holy will.

God is a never-changing God, but our knowledge of Him and His creation is always increasing. With the understanding that this body of scientific knowledge is increasing, it is also our desire that students develop a wonder of discovering these changes and be able to apply this new knowledge to the world around them in a manner pleasing to the Lord.
