​MISSION STATEMENT:
The Education Ministry Department of the Linden Seventh-day Adventist Church is committed to the holistic growth of our students. We are passionate about their spiritual and academic achievements, and we are committed to preparing them for growth and development.
VISION STATEMENT:
To inspire all our students (members and non-members) to become both educated children of God and productive citizens of the world.
CORE VALUE:
To Inform, Educate and Mentor.
An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge. Proverbs 18:15 NIV
​This verse reminds students that they should not believe they know enough to set aside learning. Their efforts in education are not just about personal achievement but can be a way of honoring God and developing the gifts he has given them.
