Ministry of Bible Baptist Shepherd Mission Inc
PHILOSOPHY
Our philosophy is based on Luke 2:52, Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor
with God and man.” Our desire is to help young people increase in wisdom -- academically, and in stature--physically. We put emphasis on both academics and physical fitness. We seek to help them grow spiritually and socially by training them to live in favor with God and their fellow man.
The means of achieving this philosophy is three-fold: the Home, Church, and School. The provision of a good home life, faithful attendance to a local church, and getting educated under the right kind of influence are the elements needed for the upbringing of a child. The home is, of course, the responsibility of the parents and along with that is seeing that your children are raised in faithful church attendance. Our school is an extension of the Christian home and a ministry of the church in training young people in a Christian environment for time and eternity. The school is not a substitute for the parental training in the home, nor is it a replacement for the church attendance. We are simply another tool in training your child.
In line with this philosophy, Bible Baptist Shepherd School has three main objectives. The first is to provide guidance in their Christian lives. The second is to give quality education to your child. The third is to develop their physical well being.
Our first objective is to guide in the student's spiritual well being. Morning chapel is a time of spiritual guidance. The pastor provides direction for each day from the Word of God. Each week students memorize Scripture verse, which supply them with a source of principles by which to live. Church attendance provides in further developing our students.
The second objective is to provide an education to your child in an atmosphere of Christian principles. We encourage students to attend a Christian college after graduation, while desiring to seek God's will in their lives. An individualized academic course of study is designed for each child.
A child's physical development is also of importance to us as our third primary objective. Use of the school gymnasium and physical education classes help the children to develop their coordination skills. B.B.S. School is a member of the New Mexico Christian Athletic Association, which allows the high school age students to participate in a competitive athletic program against other Christian and public schools.

We are a Baptist school, and will teach the above doctrines in our Bible classes. We will not debate doctrinal issues, but encourage you and your child to have an open mind and willingness to study the Bible. We use only the King James Version in our classes.
