Statement of Faith 

1.We believe the Bible is the inspired, true, inerrant and authoritative Word of God. It is the ultimate authority for all matters of belief and behavior. 2 Tim 3:16, 2 Peter 1:19-21

2. We believe in the One True God, Creator of all things, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Gen 1:1, John 1:1-3, Deut 6:4, Matt 1:23, Matt 28:18-20, John 4:24, John 10:30, 2 Cor 13:14

3. We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ (fully God), His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit, His virgin birth (fully man), His sinless life, His substitutionary death on a cross, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of God the Father, and His personal, imminent return in power and glory as King of kings and Lord of Lords. John 1:1-3, Matt 1:18-23, 2 Cor 5:21, 1 Cor 15:3-4, Heb 10:11-13, Eph 1:15-21, Acts 1:19-11, Rev 19:11-16, Titus 2:11-14

4. We believe that man and woman were created by and for God, but through disobedience, became alienated from God, resulting in both physical and spiritual death. Consequently, all people are sinners by nature, separated from God and unable to attain life by their own merits or works. Gen 1:27, Isaiah 43:7, Col 1:15-17, Gen 2:16-17, Rom 3:23, Eph 2:1-3

5. We believe that God, being rich in mercy, and because of His great love for us, sent His Son to die for us, even while we were still sinners. Salvation, or eternal life with God, is available as a free gift from God for any who confess Jesus as Lord and believe that God raised Him from the dead. In fact, there is no other name (Jesus) by which we are saved, and no other way to the Father except through the Son. Rom 5:6-11, Eph 2:4-9, Rom 10:8-11, Acts 4:11-12, John 14:6

6. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. John 14:15-17, John 16:7-15, John 7:37-39, Acts 1:8, 1 Cor 3:16-17, Gal 5:16-25

7. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved unto eternal life and the lost unto eternal punishment. Matt 25:46, 1 Thes 4:15-17, Rev 20:11-15

8. We believe that because God created only two genders at birth, male and female, and because he defined marriage as the union of a man and a woman, all other relationships that promote union or sexual intimacy between two members of the same sex or gender are abhorrent and detestable to God. These practices are sinful and at odds with the Christian faith and lifestyle and are not to be accepted, tolerated or promoted in any way. The school shall also refrain from any activities such as cross-dressing that may promote gender confusion. Gen 1:27, Gen 2:24, Deut 22:5, Mark 10:6-9, Rom 1:24-27

Core Values

Integrity

“When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.” Matthew 9:36

Compassion

Christian Compassion

“When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.” Matthew 9:36

Community

“And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.” Colossians 3:23-24

Safety

“So, the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth of Elul, in fifty-two days. When all our enemies heard about this, all the surrounding nations were afraid and lost their self-confidence, because they realized that this work had been done with the help of our God.” Nehemiah 6:15-16.

Life

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mothers womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body: all the days ordained for me were written in your book before on of them came to be.” Psalm 139:13-16

Academic Excellence

“Whatever you do, work at it will all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” Colossians 3:23-24

Core Principles

1. All children are created in the image of God, are uniquely special and have purpose in life.

2. Children should be given a foundation in Christ and God’s Word to facilitate their understanding of God and their efforts to come to know Him in a personal way through faith in Jesus Christ. This foundation should also help them to mature into responsible and disciplined adults who show the love of Christ in their lives.

3. We believe the right and responsibility to train children belongs primarily to the parent(s) and that we are here to support the parent(s) in their efforts to raise a Godly child.

4. We are committed to teaching children all academic subject matters not only with excellence, but from a biblical worldview. We believe it is important for a child to develop not just knowledge of various subjects, but the wisdom to know how to apply what they learn.

5. We believe that all staff members should behave in a Christian manner so that their influence on children is positive and leads them to a better understanding of who God is and how they can come to know Him in a personal way.
