Our Discipline and Training Beliefs:

We believe in disciplining and correcting children with the love of God and with the understanding of what is right and wrong. Discipline will consist of either, a stern talking to, “time out”, or taking away a privilege or toy. You will be notified if our discipline principals have not had an affect on your child. We believe in scheduling, education, and training in a most upright way. We believe to love each other as brothers and sisters in Christ, and to grow together spiritually and mentally as one body.
