Melville-Knox Christian School Aberdeen officially opened in August 2023 after years of prayer, planning, and organisation. We give thanks to the Lord that we have been able to reach this significant milestone! The vision and drive to establish this school has been grounded upon scriptural conviction and the desire to establish a valid option for Christian parents in an increasingly alarming spiritual climate in our country.
The history of our nation
There are fewer than ten Christian schools in a nation with such a rich Christian heritage. Scotland has previously been described as the ‘land of the Book’, due to the courage of biblical men and women since the days of the Protestant Reformation. Consider times such as those of the Covenanters, when blood was spilled and lives were lost to uphold the cause of biblical truth and Christian liberty.
Our nation was once grounded upon the authority of God’s Word, where households served the Lord (Joshua 24:15) and children were raised in the discipline and admonition of God (Ephesians 6:4). What has happened to our nation? What has happened to the church? What has become of Christian education?
Pagan Scotland
Today, Scotland has become a pagan nation which has rejected the Word of God, leading to a rapid moral decline across our society. A careful study of previous generations shows that the established church not only failed to uphold biblical truth in the face of societal reforms that sought to attack biblical truth, but the church increasingly became an additional voice of liberal confusion and false doctrine.
