Living Out Faith in Community and Service

At Valley Christian School, faith is more than a subject in the classroom – it is the heartbeat of our community. Students and staff begin each day in prayer, gather weekly for chapel, and serve the community together through projects like the Panther Project. Our goal is to see every student grow in their walk with Christ while preparing to impact the world for His glory.

Learning and serving with joy.

A Foundation for Lifelong Faith and Discipleship

Valley Christian School exists to partner with Christian families in raising children who love and follow Jesus. Faith is not something set aside for chapel or Bible class. It shapes every subject, every relationship, and every activity on campus. Students learn to see the world through a biblical lens and to recognize God’s truth as the foundation for life.

Discipleship at VCS happens in many ways. Teachers model Christ-like character in the classroom, older students mentor and pray with younger ones, and the entire school serves the community through projects that make the love of Christ visible. Each experience prepares students not only for academic success, but also for a life of service to God and others.

The Panther Project

Each year, the entire Valley Christian School community comes together for the Panther Project, an all-school day of service across Spokane. Students, teachers, and families work side by side in projects that meet real needs and share Christ’s love in practical ways.

From cleaning parks to serving local ministries, from encouraging first responders to helping neighbors, students learn that service is not just an activity but a calling. The Panther Project gives every student a hands-on opportunity to live out the truth that faith without works is dead.

This day of service is one of the highlights of the year. It reminds us that education at VCS extends far beyond the classroom. By serving together, our students grow in humility, compassion, and courage. They see that they can make a difference for Christ right now.

Core Values & Statement of Faith

Loving School
Community

VCS is a school community where we are learning to love one another as Christ loves us. We value and commit to be a distinctively caring academic community where people come alongside one another with support, encouragement, accountability and grace.

High Standard of
Education

VCS is committed to an academic rigor that exceeds the common expectations for educational attainment. We value educational standards that equip students to rise to the highest level of academic achievement given their unique talents and abilities.

Christian
Families

VCS values its partnership with families who acknowledge Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and who share biblical values as born again believers.

Biblical
Worldview

VCS views the full extent of its curriculum and all of life through the lenses of God’s revealed Word. We value the opportunity to mentor students and teach the Bible as the absolute truth and foundation for everything said and done.

Christ-Like
Character

VCS values every effort to inspire and equip students to exemplify Christ and His teachings in all aspects of their lives.

Service

VCS values the promotion of selfless acts of generosity and service to one another and to a hurting and broken world in the name of and for the sake of Jesus Christ.

The Bible

We believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of God and is the only rule for faith and practice.

God

We believe in one God who exists in three persons: the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit and that these three are co-equal, co-eternal and co-essential.

Jesus Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ is God incarnate, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for the sins of the world, buried and rose again. We believe that He is ascended and is seated at the Father’s right hand where He now intercedes for all true believers.

Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit is come to convict the world of sin; that he comes to teach and guide believers into all truth; that He indwells every true believer in Christ; that He wants to fill, control and empower each believer for service; that all who believe in Christ are baptized by the Holy Spirit into the church, the body of Christ.

Humanity

We believe that man was created in the image of God, but in Adam’s fall, every person is a sinner both by birth and by practice. We believe that every person must be born again in order to be forgiven of his sin and saved from eternal separation from God.

Salvation

We believe that salvation is by grace through faith apart from works and that this faith is personally to be in Christ’s substitutionary death on our behalf.

Spiritual Growth

We believe that the privilege and responsibility of every Christian is to grow into spiritual maturity through obedience to the Word of God and the indwelling Holy Spirit.

The Church

We believe that the true church is one body composed of all believers, with Jesus Christ as head.

Prayer at VCS

Prayer is at the heart of Valley Christian School. Every class begins in prayer, every chapel and meeting is opened with prayer, and administrators walk the campus each quarter praying for students and families. Students also experience prayer through mentorship as older students pray with and encourage younger ones.

  • Daily classroom prayer

  • Weekly chapels opened in prayer
  • Mentorship and “prayer buddies”
  • Administration and staff prayer walks across campus
  • National Day of Prayer
  • All Staff Weekly Prayer
  • Quarterly Admin Team Prayer Walks Throughout Campus

See You at the Pole

Each year, VCS joins with students across the nation for See You at the Pole, a day dedicated to student-led prayer. Before the school day begins, students gather around the flagpole to pray for their school, community, and nation. This annual event is a visible reminder that our hope is in Christ and that prayer unites believers in a powerful way.

A Service-Centered Education

The Panther Project

Once a year, the entire VCS community joins together for a day of service across Spokane. Students, teachers, and families work side by side to meet real needs, showing the love of Christ through action.

Weekly Chapels

Each week, students gather to worship, hear God’s Word, and pray together. Chapels are a vital rhythm of spiritual growth where students learn to apply biblical truth to daily life.

See You at the Pole

Every fall, VCS students join with peers across the nation for a morning of prayer around the flagpole. They lift up their school, community, and country, demonstrating bold faith in public.

Student Mentorship

Older students come alongside younger ones as prayer partners and encouragers. These relationships build community and model discipleship, helping faith grow across grade levels.

Worship Team

Student-led worship teams guide the school in chapel services. By using their musical gifts to glorify God, they lead peers into authentic praise and set an example of servant leadership.

Community Service

Beyond the Panther Project, students serve throughout the year in class projects and local outreach. Service is woven into life at VCS as an expression of living out the Gospel.
