Centrality of the Christian Faith
JCS believes that the Bible is the final authority for the Christian relating to matters of faith and practice. We believe in the virgin birth, sinless life, substitutionary atonement and the imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ. These beliefs are foundational to all activities related to the ministry of Jupiter Christian School. (II Timothy 3: 16,17)
Commitment to prayer

The students are taught to pray for one another, their teachers, the school staff, their families and friends. the students are taught to pray for their government leaders. (Ephesians 6:18; II Timothy 2:1-4)
