The vision of a Christian school in Morris, Illinois began years ago in the hearts of individuals who wanted a Christ-centered education for their children.  After much prayer and work, the vision became a reality in September of 2000 when Morris Christian School opened its doors to its first students. 

This vision is shared by Bethlehem Lutheran Church in the heart of Morris, where together we have transformed their educational wing into our school for Christian families throughout our community.

Morris Christian School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all rights,
privileges, programs, and activities
generally accorded or made available
o students at the school.  It does not
discriminate on the basis of race, color,
national, or ethnic origin in
administration of its educational
policies, scholarship and loan programs,
and athletic and other school-
administered programs.

Morris Christian School is a 501(c)(3)
non-profit organization.  Donations
are tax deductible.

MCS provides more than a secular education with an added religion class.  Mature Christian teachers, and a prayerfully chosen curriculum, reinforce and build upon timeless Christian values and beliefs taught in the home and the local church.  Each student is encouraged to grow to embrace their faith, live a life fully  consistent with it, and fulfill God’s command to “continue in what you have learned”
(2 Timothy 3:14).

Volumes of research within the Christian community reveal an alarming trend: children raised in Christian homes are
overwhelmingly abandoning the Church and rejecting their parents’ beliefs and values as they reach adulthood.  Recent studies now put this rising figure at more than three of every four. Researchers have also pinpointed the cause: most children raised in Christian homes never develop a Christian worldview.  They never learn to think like a Christian.

MCS seeks to build a consistent Christian worldview into every student by daily teaching that:

· God’s Truth is absolute and knowable

· Creation is God’s handiwork

· We are stewards of His creation

· We are each accountable to Him

· Every life is precious in God’s sight

· We must forgive others because He forgives us

· His love motivates us to serve Him and serve each other
