精神生活

基督在中心

We believe that the key to a Christian education is having Christ at the center of all learning, 而不是作为课程的附加内容. 精神生活涉及学校的每一项活动, 和 teachers authentically integrate a Christian perspective into all subject areas.

同时对灵性有一个整体的看法, we offer many specific 和 intentional activities to highlight the spiritual dimension of life.

  • 小学 学生每天接受圣经教导 遇到 curriculum 和 attend 每周一次的礼拜仪式 at their level of underst和ing.  了解更多网投十大信誉平台 遇到.
  • 中学 学生一般每周上两次圣经课, 每周一次的礼拜仪式, 并且有更多的时间专注于他们与上帝的关系.
  • 高中 学生们每周去教堂做礼拜三次, meet one day per week in advisory groups 和 take a theology/Bible class each year. 教堂包括特别系列的演讲嘉宾, 比如承诺周, 宣教、启发及教育周, 以及职业和信仰周, 允许专注于精神成长的有意识的关注.

学生和教师来自不同的基督教教会. 老师, curriculum 和 chapel services emphasize a personal relationship with God through Christ, 因信得救, 并承诺跟随耶稣的生活和教导.

教堂为集体敬拜增添了额外的空间, 还有当地牧师的意见, 鼓舞人心的演讲者, singing groups 和 other resources that broaden the students’ awareness of the broader Church 和 God. This time of 敬拜 和 cultural events invites students to personal faith, 基督式的爱, peacemaking 和 service for focused 和 sustained attention to spiritual growth. Chapels give attention to the rhythms of the school year 和 the cycle of the Christian year.

门诺派信仰什么?

An international group of Anabaptists (Mennonite World Conference) developed this list of Shared Convictions. Anabaptist simply means “re-baptized” 和 refers to people who were baptized as adults during the Protestant Reformation upon confession of Christ as their Saviour 和 Lord. 门诺派是以早期再洗礼派领袖门诺·西蒙斯的名字命名的.

  1. 我们称神为父, 圣子与圣灵, the Creator who seeks to restore fallen humanity by calling a people to be faithful in fellowship, 敬拜, 送达及见证.
  2. 耶稣是神的儿子. 通过他的生活和教诲, 他的十字架和复活, 他教导我们如何成为忠心的门徒, 救赎了世界, 并赐予永生.
  3. 作为一个教堂, 我们是被神的灵呼召转离罪恶的群体, 承认耶稣基督是主, 在承认信仰时接受洗礼, 在生活中跟随基督.
  4. 作为一个信仰团体, 我们接受圣经作为我们信仰和生活的权威, 在圣灵的引导下一起解释圣经, 在耶稣基督的光照下，明白神要我们顺服的旨意.
  5. The Spirit of Jesus empowers us to trust God in all areas of life so we become peacemakers who renounce violence, 爱我们的敌人, 寻求正义, 和需要帮助的人分享我们的财产.
  6. 我们定期聚会做礼拜, 庆祝主的晚餐, 并以相互负责的精神聆听上帝的话语.
  7. As a world-wide community of faith 和 life we transcend boundaries of nationality, 比赛, class, 性别与语言. 我们寻求活在世上，不受邪恶势力的辖制, 通过服事他人来见证神的恩典, 关爱创作, 并邀请所有的人认识耶稣基督为救主和主.

In these convictions we draw inspiration from Anabaptist forebears of the 16th century, 谁是耶稣基督的门徒. 我们寻求借着圣灵的能力奉他的名而行, as we confidently await Christ’s return 和 the final fulfillment of God’s kingdom.

为什么在LM体育赛事中不演奏国歌?

网投十大信誉平台教徒 School (LM) chooses to say a prayer before the start of each game instead of playing the national anthem or flying the American flag. 这种选择植根于再洗礼派的信仰和LM的核心价值观. Praying at all athletic events displays our core values of Seeking Jesus Wholeheartedly 和 Living Compassionately by acknowledging the gifts God has given each student 和 asking for safety for players on both teams.

作为一个信仰团体, we affirm that God transcends boundaries 和 that we are part of a global faith community. 我们对上帝的忠诚超越国籍, 这体现了我们培养全球公民的核心价值. In addition, the Mennonite faith follows a tradition of pacifism 和 peacemaking. 在国歌中，可以找到暴力和军国主义的语言. LM believes that we are called to follow Jesus’ example of nonviolence as we live out our core value to Build Bridges of Peace.

有这样的例子, 比如季后赛, that if we are hosting games PIAA requires the school to play the national anthem 和 display an American flag. 在这些情况下，我们确实遵守PIAA的指导方针.
