The Mission of the Mission Statement
Here is the Mission Statement of 91原创:
91原创, as a Christian ministry to families, provides a Christian and Classical education that trains students to view all areas of life and faith from a Christian worldview and equips students to lead lives of virtue, display mature character, love learning, and serve the Triune God.
Two foundational questions come to mind.
First, what is a mission statement?
A mission statement is a clear and succinct representation of an organization鈥檚 purpose for existence. The mission statement answers the question, 鈥淲hy do we exist?鈥
And second, why is a mission statement needed?
1.聽聽 聽To clarify to the members of the school鈥檚 community why it exists.
2.聽聽 聽To make clear to those outside the community the distinctive work and purpose of the school.
3.聽聽 聽To differentiate yourself from similar organizations; to state what is unique about you that separates you from others.
4.聽聽 聽To hold those accountable who are tasked with accomplishing the work of the school.
5.聽聽 聽To hold before the members of the school community what is essential and abiding, and what is temporary and negotiable. That is, to preserve the school鈥檚 unique and God-glorifying purpose for generations to come.
