CHRISTIAN
SCHOOL MINISTRIES
(1980)
WHEREAS in the light of the rapid growth of Christian School Ministries (day-care centers, kindergartens, elementary and high schools); and
WHEREAS there is the ever-growing attempt of federal and state governments to infringe upon the rights of churches to establish and maintain these ministries; and
WHEREAS there seems to be an attempt by some government agen- cies to declare that the Christian School Ministries are not an integral part of the church; and
WHEREAS Christian
School Ministries
in the Church
of God are governed
under the jurisdiction
of the state
overseers, the
state boards
of education,
and the local
sponsoring churches;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Church of God, meeting in the 58th General
Assembly in Dallas, Texas, affirms that the Christian School Ministries (day-care
centers, kindergartens, elementary and high schools) are an integral arm of
the local Church of God ministry in their organization, function, and goals
(58th A., 1980, p. 51).
