Agree To Volunteer Background SCREENING

There is no longer a fee to become or renew your status as a volunteer at Lake Center Christian School!

To ensure a safe and healthy environment for all students, a background screening is required for anyone serving at the school. After your application is reviewed and approved, you will receive an email invitation to complete the screening process.

Background checks are valid for three years. Once expired, you will be asked to renew before continuing to serve.

Lake Center partners with Praesidium to conduct these screenings. While the screening itself previously carried a $20 fee, this cost is now fully covered by the school. Please allow up to two weeks for processing and approval.

Once your background check is approved, you’ll be cleared to begin volunteering at Lake Center! Keep an eye on weekly ParentSquare updates created specifically for our volunteers—these will highlight current opportunities and ways you can get involved.

Parent Ambassador Program

Lake Center Christian School has a Parent Ambassador Program focused on welcoming and encouraging new families, thus strengthening community within our school and building up the Body of Christ.
A new school family, upon enrollment, is assigned a Parent Ambassador who has children in attendance at LCCS and is involved in our volunteer program. The Parent Ambassador program places families with one another who have children close in age or in the same grade level, or who may have something else in common, which could include where they reside or the church they attend.
Our Parent Ambassadors are genuinely excited to have you at Lake Center Christian School and are praying your family has positive experiences at our school, too. They consider it a blessing to be your Parent Ambassador and want to help you have a smooth transition into our LCCS community.

What We Believe

We believe in a Biblical worldview. Students will learn to demonstrate an understanding and discernment of the Bible, the plan of salvation and it’s permeation into daily living and decision making. We teach students to use Biblical worldview to analyze content, to think critically about problems and solutions, and make decisions. 

We want to develop students that are able to engage with and articulate Biblical worldview to believers and non-believers alike. We believe that it’s through this understanding of the Bible that students will grow in their personal relationship with Christ.

 

At Lake Center, students are prepared in academic disciplines as well as skill in critical thinking and problem-solving. They are taught to be productive, responsible, and dependent on Christ as well as can read, write, speak, and listen with purpose.

Students learn to evaluate, analyze, and communicate the validity of information and it’s relation to Truth. They will be taught to value academic honesty and integrity while pursuing wisdom, knowledge, and understanding as a life practice/pattern.

We want students that after graduation have goals and plans for life beyond and outside of Lake Center.

We teach students to know, understand, and apply Scripture as the authority for establishing priorities for all areas of life. We want them to speak life and understand the power and value of their words.

Students will learn to cultivate a life of faith and love within their families, communities, workplaces as well as developing a desire to glorify God in everything they do, even viewing work as worship to God.

We want students that will practice restorative justice, love mercy, walk justly and exercise a voice in current culture.

 

Lake Center Christian School Core Values

Education at Lake Center Christian School is realized in several ways. Students are taught to know God through His revealed truth in the person of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Bible, the final authority for faith and life, and through discoverable truth in His creation. Students are encouraged by teachers, who exemplify a life-style of commitment to Christ, to respond to God as the Holy Spirit calls them. Students are guided in glorifying God by developing concepts and skills which will enable them to realize their potential in loving God, in enjoying His world, and in serving others.

Education results in the growth of the whole person. Lake Center Christian School aims to develop the potential of its students through goals for spiritual and moral growth, personal and social growth, intellectual growth, and health and physical growth.

At Lake Center we disciple students to participate in spreading the Gospel and discipling others as well as willingly participate in service opportunities.

We want young men and women who take initiative to improve the lives of others, think globally, and care for God’s creation. They are taught to understand and willingly use spiritual gifts and talents while developing useful skills.

We want them to apply innovative thinking to build and create as well as display servant leadership in the home, church, and workforce display a grateful heart.



We aspire to develop young men and women who understand that all people are created in the image of God. Students are also taught to value people’s differences (i.e. cultural, academic, racial, socioeconomic) treat others with grace, respect, and dignity.

We teach them to value the creativity and talents of others as well as the importance of community and living in unity. We show students how to not only recognize but also deal with prejudice.

We want well-rounded students that appreciate the arts, literature, science, mathematics, and athletics as well as those who excel in and contribute to these areas.
