About CHFBS

  

Castle Hills First Baptist School began in 1981 by a group of interested members of Castle Hills First Baptist Church and the Church Pastor, Dr. George H. Harris. The school began with grades 1-6 and an enrollment of nearly 100 students and has continued to grow. Our current enrollment is 390students in grades pre-school to 12th grade. Castle Hills First Baptist School has graduated over 900 graduates who are serving as pastors, worship leaders, missionaries, business owners, teachers and in many other professions. The Biblical worldview they were taught at CHFBS is now influencing their generation.

The faculty, staff, and leadership of Castle Hills First Baptist School remain ever steadfast in their dedication to make Christian education at our school a standard where others can see that our children develop their abilities to the fullest.


Core Values of Christian Education
  1. Bible is the core subject. It is the eternal, infallible, inerrant Word of God, providing biblical answers that transform lives. It is the plumb line for everything we say and do. (II Timothy 3:14-17; Hebrews 4:12)
  2. The biblical integration of every planned learning experience is foundational to our educational mission. (Col. 3:16, 17; Romans 11:33-36)
  3. We should teach students to develop a personal value system from the Bible. The biblical basis for developing values are as follows:
    a. Is it lawful? I Cor. 6:12 a
    b. Is it expedient? I Cor. 6:12b
    c. Is it going to control me? I Cor. 6:12c
    d. Is it going to edify? I Cor. 10:23
    e. Is it a stumbling block or a starring block? I Cor. 8:8-9
    f. Does it glorify God? I Cor. 6:19-20
  4. The development of critical thinking in the context of a biblical worldview. (I John 4:1-6)
  5. The development of Christ-like character in the life of each student. This means that the board, faculty, staff and administration shall exhibit Christ-like character qualities. Character is an expression of the person of Christ in our life. (II Peter 1:3-10)
  6. Acommitment to academic excellence, maximizing each student's potential for effective ministry. (Col. 1:9; II Tim. 2:15)
  7. The development of a servant's heart. Each student must learn to minister with the attitude of Christ. (Matthew 11:28-30, 20:26-28; Phil. 2:1-8)
