Teaching Philosophy
The purpose of education is to glorify and make much of Christ because He is the Lord and standard of what education is. He is the Sovereign King over everything created (Col. 1:16-17) and all that we learn. As an educator my role is to echo the Scriptures in understanding that parents are the primary educator of their children (Deut. 6:7-9, Eph. 6:4). With this foundation, I am partnering along side parents to teach their students the glorious truths found in God’s living Word and how it transforms into their lives today. My goal is to equip students in comprehending what has happened and is happening in our world biblically, to engage with the texts we read, to ask challenging questions, and to become more like our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Statement of Faith
I hold to the Nicene Creed and currently attend Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho.
