To perpetuate the purpose and philosophy of East Central Illinois Christian School, these goals have been established:
- The school will be concerned with educating the whole child, thus aspiring to the intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual needs of the children. This will be done for the glory of God for the sake of His Kingdom.
