Education from a Biblical Worldview that focuses on God, his infallible word, and His Creation, reveals to us his character and glorified nature. We are heirs to a throne with Christ and therefore encourage the pursuit of excellence in academics, fine arts, and community service. Vision Our vision is: To instruct students of the relevance of God and his son Jesus Christ. To create a Christian educational atmosphere that enables a student to become the most excellent version of themselves. To glorify God by nurturing the next generation towards living a lifestyle of the faithful. To instill in each student the need for self-discipline, self-control, and an understanding of obedience. Mission To partner with families in creating legacies of faith. Statements Defining Faith 1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God (2 Timothy 3:15, 2 Peter 1:21). 2. We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three-persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1, Matthew 28:19, John 10:30). 3. We believe in the deity of Christ (John 10:33); His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:35); His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15, Hebrews 7:26); His miracles (John 2:11); His vicarious and atoning death (1 Corinthians 15:3, Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 2:9); His resurrection (John 11:25, 1 Corinthians 15:4); His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19); and His personal return in power and glory (Acts 1:11, Revelation 19:11). 4. We believe in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature, that men are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ, and that only God’s grace and through faith alone are we saved (John 3:16-19, John 5:24, Romans 5:8-9, Ephesians 2:8-10, Titus 3:5). We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation (John 5:28-19). 5. 15 6. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9, 1 Corinthians 12:1213, Galatians 3:26-28). 7. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (Romans 8:13-14, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, Ephesians 4:30, Ephesians 5:18).
