As Christian educators we not only teach students academics and other skills, we teach and model our Christian faith. All CCA teachers, faculty, and staff in any capacity are professional educators and ministers who strive to fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) and the Two Greatest Commandments (Matthew 22:36-40) – building disciples for Christ, loving God and people, and helping students grow in their faith. 

 

Christian Educators as Ministers – Our Job Description

 

Christian teachers, school administrators, faculty, and staff are called by God to help raise up students in the ways of faith. Jesus, the Savior, was also a teacher. He gathered his disciples and others around him and taught with such conviction and truth that many who heard him were astonished. (Mark 6:2). His apostles, likewise, were teachers and gave witness with great power, through their words and their deeds, and gave their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all (Acts 4:33). 

 

The ministry of teaching obligates the teacher to assist his or her students in understanding not only academics and electives skills, but how their subjects reveal the glory of God. Regardless of the subject, true teachers minister to their students by helping them follow Paul‘s admonition: “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.” (Philippians 4:8–9) 

Teachers in a Christian school must be ever mindful that they instruct not only through rational explanation of formal subject material but even more powerfully through word, deed, example, and shared experience. Simply put, they teach the faith by modeling the faith and by modeling faithfulness. This is why all teachers, faculty, and staff, even before their first interaction with students, must subscribe to CCA‘s Statement of Faith. This is why all employees are required to live out a Godly example, both at school and away. Teachers must teach truth and avoid falsehood. (Ephesians 4: 25, 29)

Teachers minister to their students by providing them with faith experiences. They lead students in prayer, praise, and activities that show love for God and Christ-like love for people. (Matthew 22:36-40) Paul urged Christians to “Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:31–32). 

 

Teachers also model the Christian life by being active in their own church community and by serving as an intermediary assisting their students in becoming active in their respective church communities so that those students might be further nurtured in faith with their friends and family around them. We work as a team of educators who are “fellow laborers” in the ministry of our faith and affirm that our ministry of teaching is a God-ordained vocation. (1 Corinthians 3:9)

 

As a member of CCA’s faculty and staff:

 

  1. I agree that, as part of the qualifications for this position, I am a "born again” Christian who knows the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior (John 3:3, 1 Peter 1:23). I accept without verbal or mental reservations the school's Statement of Faith (attached) and am committed to upholding it. I also give testimony that teaching is a spiritual calling and that teaching in this Christian school is God’s direction for my life for this school year.

 

  1. I agree to manifest by daily example the highest Christian virtue serving as a Christian minister and role model(1 Timothy 4:12) both in and out of school to students, parents, fellow employees, our community, and our world. (Luke 6:40) I agree that instruction is not only through rational explanation of formal subject material, but even more powerfully through the word, deed, example, and shared experience. I agree to be a role model in judgment, dignity, respect, and Christian living. 

 

  1. I agree to be a Christian role model and minister in all aspects of life – in person, online, and via social media channels. I agree not to speak against, act in opposition to, portray or post messages and communications that contradict our Statement of Faith or Position on Critical Issues. I will strive for Christian unity and to reflect Christ in all that I say and do – as an individual and electronically via social media and other sources. (1 Corinthians 1:10, Colossians 3:14, Ephesians 4:3)

 

  1. I acknowledge that being a Christian role model and minister includes, but is not limited to, the refraining from such activities as the use of illicit drugs and the use of vulgar and profane language. Excessive use of alcoholic beverages is prohibited. (Colossians 3:17, Titus 2:7-8, 1 Thessalonians 2:10, 1 Thessalonians 5:18, 22-23, and James 3:17-18)

 

  1. I agree to accept the CCA Pastoral Board’s interpretation of Biblical standards for my sexual behavior. That any sexual misconduct—including, but not limited to—premarital, extramarital, or homosexual activity; sexual harassment; use or viewing pornographic material or websites; and sexual abuse of children are forbidden and violates the employment requirement of being a Christian minister and role model. I agree that such behaviors are grounds for immediate dismissal from my teaching position ministering to children.

 

         I also agree that the unique roles of males and females are clearly defined in the Scriptures and explained in our Position on Critical Issues and Statement on Marriage, Gender, and Sexuality. I agree that Romans 1:24-32 condemns the homosexual lifestyle. (Romans 12:1-2; 1 Corinthians 6:9-20; Ephesians 4:1-11, 5:3-5; 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8; 1 Timothy 4:12; 2 Timothy 2:19-22; 1 Peter 1:15-16, 2:15-17; 1 John 3:1-3)

 

         I have read and agree with, without reservation, CCA’s Statement on Marriage, Gender and Sexuality and Position on Critical Issues. I have discussed the statements with the Principal and understand that in my role as a teacher, I will also be an agent of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and must fully agree with and abide by the tenets of God’s Holy Word as contained in the Holy Bible. 

 

  1. I agree to maintain membership and faithfully attend a local church whose fundamental beliefs are in agreement with the Statement of Faith of this school (Hebrews 10:25).
