Jubilee Christian School exists as an extension of Becker Christian Center (a non-denominational church), and in harmony with the Christian families it serves to provide a setting of academic excellence and Biblical discipleship in which students are trained on an individual basis to equip them to serve God, their families, and their world. Becker Christian Center and Jubilee Christian School are a ministry of Becker Christian Center and belong to the Church. The administrator, teachers, and all other staff members or volunteers are Church employees and under the authority of the Church Pastor and the Church Board of Elders.

JCS is a unique blend of a Christian school and a homeschool ministry. We operate on campus Tuesday through Thursday, with homeschooling taking place on Mondays and Fridays. Our staff provides the curriculum and instructional guidance, while parents serve as teachers and learning facilitators. Parents also have opportunities to participate in classroom instruction on campus, Tuesday through Thursday, through volunteering. We hold the conviction that parents bear the primary responsibility before God to educate and train their children according to the Bible, the Word of God.

Jubilee Christian School was founded in 1998 as a ministry of Becker Christian Center. The church body felt that God was calling us to be committed to assisting fathers (parents) in their God-commanded responsibility to train up their children in the Lord with the Bible as the foundational textbook. We are committed to bringing our children to a personal, saving relationship with Jesus Christ and to building godly character in their lives through attention to the Bible’s teachings. We desire that our students be characterized as follows:

• • • They know Jesus as Lord and Savior
    • They know and practice the Word of God
    • They know how to lead others to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ
    • They know how to worship, reverence, and fear God
    • They know how to be led by the Holy Spirit
    • They know how to live a lifestyle of holiness
    • They practice stewardship in every area of their lives, knowing that someday they will give a complete account to God
    • They are dedicated to moral, academic, spiritual, and physical excellence
