Grace Christian College Wodonga

Grace Christian College holds to the notion that the Christian Worldview has made an essential contribution to the development of Western Democracy and its social structures. The Christian Worldview, sees humanity as the image bearer of God himself who is the Eternal Creator. It is with confidence then, that humanity can seek to live life within the Christian Worldview with dignity and meaning. The Christian Worldview gives people the power to govern themselves with justice, through God’s guidance, allowing the execution of the fundamental principles of democracy such as: elected Government; the rule of law; equal rights for all before the law; freedom of religion; freedom of speech and association; the values of openness and tolerance.

The school also believes that the formation of future citizens who have an implicit understanding of the foundational principles of democracy requires an educational program built on principles that find their source in the Christian Worldview. The New Testament teaches that Jesus Christ is the Creator and Lord of this world. However, it also teaches that in this life He requires men and women to willingly and honestly submit their hearts to Him. This decision is a personal life decision, not something that He forces. The benefits of this decision are not only the promise of eternal life but are daily. When men and women allow the Word of God to influence their life choices their lives come close to God’s intended will and they receive blessings that are a natural outworking of being in relationship with God.
