MISSION STATEMENT

The purpose of Lifegate Christian Middle & High School is to assist families by providing a Christ-centered education in which, virtue, academic excellence and social responsibility are achieved in a safe non-denominational community.

PHILOSOPHY

Lifegate is a non-denominational, board directed Christian school. Its operation is based on the principles of God’s Word. Faith in Christ and the authority of the Bible are the foundations upon which this school is built. Every activity, both in and out of class, takes place in the context of the Christian faith. The key to this is a competent, dedicated Christian staff, which by example of their own lives and by the design of their classroom instruction intends to affect a strong Christian influence upon each student.

HISTORY

Lifegate was started in 1994, based on the belief that certain Lane County families wanted and needed an accredited Christian-based program that is based on a traditional classroom approach.

MEMBERSHIP

Lifegate Christian Middle & High School is fully accredited by the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools, and meets all requirements for graduation of the Oregon State Department of Education.

DENOMINATIONS

Lifegate Christian School aims to bring students to the knowledge that when one walks in the grace of God, he is truly free. Each student is encouraged to recognize that the commandments of God are the supreme criteria of living victoriously.

Our goal is to mirror the example of Christ in human relationships.

We believe the Bible to be inspired, the only infallible, authoritative written word of God.

We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth and sinless life, His miracles, His victorious atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection and ascension to the right hand of the Father,

and His personal return in power and glory.

We believe that for salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and lost: they that are saved, unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
