Sumter Christian School is honored to have
students from over seventy area churches in the
student body. Although Sumter Bible Church with
its many ministries is not affiliated with any
denomination, we do embrace a baptistic
position, fully delineated in the Sumter Bible
Church Constitution. Parents may be assured that
other positions are not presented in a poor
light, nor is there any desire to use the
classroom to proselytize students for Sumter
Bible Church. The majority of time spent in
Bible instruction is devoted to emphasizing
prayer, Bible study, witnessing, giving,
fellowship, character, and godliness based on
chapter-by-chapter exposition, doctrinal, and
biographical instruction.

A truly Christian school is
characterized first by a faculty
composed entirely of born-again
Christians. Each is also certified by
the South Carolina Association of
Christian Schools.
Secondly, the curriculum is
thoroughly Biblical: it is based on a
Biblical philosophy and incorporates
Scriptural applications in the
presentation of all subject matter.
Thirdly, the student body is
predominately Christian. Most students
are professing Christians, and none are
hostile to Bible teaching and behavior
standards.
Our primary goal of maintaining a
spiritual community in the pursuit of
academic goals is the feature which
distinguishes Sumter Christian School
from public and other independent
schools. |

Parents who accept the teachings of the Roman
Catholic Church, the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints, the Jehovah's Witnesses,
Christian Science, the Worldwide Church of God,
the Seventh Day Adventists, or certain oriental
religions, seldom choose to enroll their
children in Sumter Christian School. The
school's emphasis on the cardinal doctrines of
Scripture would produce severe conflicts in the
child's mind regarding the absolute nature of
truth and would create a potential source of
friction between parents and school staff. |
