Why Am I Here?
I love Lutheran schools
I want to see all Lutheran schools be progressive laboratories for 21st century so we have the opportunity to share Jesus EVERY DAY with as many children as possible
Premise #1
God has blessed us with the technology tools available
today, and it is our responsibility to use these
tools for education, productivity, and ministry,
and to empower our students to do the same.
Premise #2
We are living in revolutionary times.
Therefore, it is impossible for any one of us to fully
understand the implications for ministry and education of
living in this digital age.
Premise #3
In order for us to have the best possible chance for us
to grasp the opportunities in this digital age, we need the
conversations and contributions of everyone in order to make sense of this new era for education and
ministry. In other words, we need our Lutheran school
system to BE a true system.
