Welcome to the:
Department of Education
The Educational ministry of the
Gulf States Conference currently encompasses Bass Memorial Academy, 4 junior
academies, and 12 elementary schools. These 17 institutions provide an
ongoing educational, evangelistic campaign 180 days a year to the children
and youth of our Conference. As a result of this evangelism over the
past five years, 46 students were baptized into the fellowship of the
Seventh-day Adventist Church. Praise the Lord!
Our schools are part of the
Adventist Edge
initiative of the Southern Union Conference of
Seventh-day Adventists. Learn more about
Adventist Edge.
OUR MISSION
The
Seventh-day Adventist Schools in the Gulf States Conference exist primarily
to touch the lives of our children and youth for Jesus. Every student
entrusted to our care is a gift of God to be educated for both now and
eternity. It is our intentional approach to harmoniously blend the
work of redemption and education as one ministry through a Christ-centered
curriculum.
How do we hope to fulfill the
mission that we have embraced as the reason for which we exist? The
specific objectives to help us accomplish our task include the following:
TEACH--Reverence
for God, respect for others, and responsibility for one's self.
EMPHASIZE--The
Journey to Excellence in every achievement-physical development, academic
competence, spiritual commitment, social maturation, and aesthetic
appreciation.
ENCOURAGE--A
lifestyle based on the principles of the Holy Scriptures as evidenced
through an abiding relationship with Jesus Christ.
INSPIRE--An
appreciation for the joy of service to mankind through outreach
opportunities and mission adventures.
LOVE--Every
student as a unique individual, recognizing his or her dignity and infinite
value.
