Statement of Faith

Strengthening children’s lives and character through excellence in Christian education.

GOD

We believe that the one and only true God is spirit, self-existent, infinite, personal, unchangeable and external in His being; perfect in every way; creator and sustainer of all things; controller of the universe; externally existent as three persons, one in substance and co-equal in power and glory, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 

We acknowledge the Bible as the infallible Word of God.  It is the ultimate authority in instructing us concerning God, ourselves, and God’s dealings with all of His creation.  It is valuable in instructing mankind how to preserve and maintain our universe so as to bring the greatest blessing and enjoyment to all creation.  It is the final authority for life and death.

JESUS

We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal existence of God.  We believe in His incarnation, being conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary; in His sinless life and miraculous works; in His vicarious death to make atonement for sins of the world; in His bodily resurrection and ascension to the right hand of God; in His imminent coming in power and glory.

HOLY SPIRIT

We believe the Holy Spirit is the third person of the triune God.  He is one in majesty and glory with the Father and the Son.  His work is to convict the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment; to regenerate those who repent of their sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ; to sanctify, endue with power, teach, guide and comfort believers.  He empowers believers to live a successful Christian life in accordance with God’s Word.

MAN

We believe that man was created by an act of God and not by a process of evolution; that man was created in the image and likeness of God for the purpose of glorifying God and enjoying Him forever.

We believe that our first parents, with freedom of choice given them by God, were deluded by Satan and deliberately disobeyed God’s command, bringing sin into the human race.  They were thus alienated from God, bringing upon themselves and all generations to follow the sentence of death, both spiritual and physical.

THE UNIVERSE

We believe God’s original creation was perfect in all ways.  We believe that it reveals God’s divine nature, His eternal powers and His unfailing love towards His creation.

We believe the created universe reveals the heart of God and it allows us to have an understanding of God’s will and plan in allowing mankind to be responsible for using and maintaining it.

THE FUTURE

We believe that today’s existence is temporal and will pass away, but that eternity is permanent.  We believe that all mankind will live in eternity, but it is a prepared place for a prepared people, and man is held accountable before God to make that preparation.

TEACHING AND LEARNING

We believe that each person is uniquely created and has been endowed with God-given abilities to be developed in order to make a whole person, an image-bearer of God whose life is marked by a love for God and a desire to do His will.

HOME AND SCHOOL

We believe the authority and responsibility for educating children resides with the parents or guardians of the children rather than with the state or church.  Parents, for various reasons, may delegate a part of their authority to those who competently carry out this God-given parental duty.

We believe the Christian School is an indispensable partner with the home, the church, and other Christian agencies.  It cannot replace the home, but is there to reinforce it and ensure a solid and scriptural world viewpoint.  Therefore, the home and the school must be founded on the same Christ-centered principles in order for education to be successful.  Here Christian teachers transform all activities and studies into expressions of wisdom, helping the students to become complete persons living as followers of Christ.

We believe the Christian School is a place where committed Christian teachers who believe in and agree with the doctrinal and philosophical statements of the school, desire to instruct their students according to Biblical principles and standards.  Despite their shortcomings and failings they assume the awesome task and responsibility for Christian education.  They humbly dedicate themselves with joy and sometimes with pain, to walk in fellowship with God and each other, and with the young people they instruct in the ways of the Lord.

We believe students attending a Christian School are to be developed to their fullest potential and to be able to use current educational and vocational equipment.

We believe that upon completion of each year’s studies or graduation, students of the Christian School should be able to succeed in any public school system that they might attend, subject to their own personal capabilities.

We believe the Christian School is an institution whose policies and programs and activities are governed by the message of the Bible and solid Christian principles recognizing in every dimension the implications of Christ’s redemption.
