Mission Statement
Koinonia Christian School Red Deer exists to assist parents in Christian education by developing excellence in faith, moral character and academics, promoting lifestyles related to Christian witness.
Statement of FaithWhile Koinonia Schools acknowledge and respect the legitimate differences that exist within evangelical theology, only the following doctrines will be taught as truth in our schools.

PhilosophyKoinonia Christian Schools are "discipleship" schools not "missionary" schools. Our goal, within the four walls of the classroom, is not to evangelize the lost, but to train up our children in the way that they should go. We believe that developing committed Christian disciples of our own children is the first and foremost application of the Great Commission. Therefore, we admit children from families who subscribe to our Statement of Faith and agree to abide by our Parents' Commitment.
MissionsEvery year a team of students from grades 9-12 join with students from other Koinonia schools for a missions trip to Mexico. We also support local ministries and provide opportunities for our students to serve in their community.
Life TogetherEverything in life is different when one comes to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Honoring Him as Lord and Savior in a school makes an equally great difference. From how we conduct our janitorial duties to how we counsel students needing discipline; from board policy discussions to student playground behavior; from how we mentor, encourage, and socialize with each other. Everything is different because of God's presence.
It is not uncommon for students to set up pray times, start mentoring programs, and share lunch time with the different ages in our school. Generally, the first Thursday of every month is all school chapel, where the whole school comes together to worship God. Worship team is led by students. Weekly chapels are led by local pastors and ministries. Koinonia students excel as strong leaders in the workforce, community, Student Council, churches, and with their peers. |
