About Us

Rev. and Mrs Spencer have been working with Christian schools for over 30 years.  Rev. Spencer started GSS more then 20 years ago.  Their passion for reaching children for Christ through education is paramount.  They love, care, and pray for each child that comes through the doors of Good Shepherd School. 

They have been married for almost ten years and have 9 children and 30 grandchildren between them.

Who We Are
Good Shepherd School is a name chosen to reflect our dependence upon our Lord Jesus Christ as He is often pictured in the Holy Scriptures.  Whether in the Old Testament (Ps. 23; Isa 40) or the New Testament (John 10 ; 1 Pet 2:25), Christ is portrayed as the guide, the provider, the comfort of His people. It is our goal to remain faithful to our gentle Savior, ever seeking to train students in the understanding of His ways.  Students are taught to know and love Jesus Christ as the great Shepherd of the sheep who, by the blood of an eternal covenant, saved His people from their sins. (Heb. 13:20; Matt 1:21)

Our Purpose
Good Shepherd School believes there can be no neutrality in education or in any other area of life.  All learning is either God-centered or man-centered; that is, it begins either with acknowledging the authority of God's revelation and seeking His glory or with man's attempts to discover truth on his own.  The latter approach - making man the center of the universe and the measure of all things - is known as humanism.  Most education today - public or private - is based on humanistic principles either consciously or unconsciously. We make no apology for standing firmly upon the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the inerrant Word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice.

The school stands firmly upon the Scriptures as the inerrant Word of God and the only infallible rule for faith and practice. The goal of the school is that students learn to love God with all their heart, soul, mind and strength and their neighbors as themselves. The school encourages respect for the authority of parents, teachers and civil leaders, and an appreciation for our American Christian heritage. Parental cooperation is encouraged and expected in areas such as prayer support, overseeing homework, upholding disciplinary procedures, and providing special help in areas where the child may be deficient.
