What We Believe
Statement of Faith
- We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
- We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and i.n His personal return in power and glory.
- We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration in the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
- We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
- 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.

Philosophy of Christian Education
We believe the first and great commandment is found in Matthew 22:37-38. Jesus responded to the lawyer that had asked which is the most important commandment by saying, “...Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.” How are we to do this? Ephesians 2:8,9 states, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” We cannot earn it or be good enough. It is by the grace of God, that we can be saved through faith. As we accept Jesus Christ into our life, He begins to do a new work in our lives. 2 Corinthians 5:17 states, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” In Titus2:11,12, we see that by God’s grace we are to let go of ungodliness and to live a godly life. That brings us back to the great commandment. When Jesus gave this great commandment, he was quoting directly from the book of Deuteronomy 6. Parents are instructed to teach their children diligently in His word. This is where the Christian School is a ministry to the family. As the Parents instruct Godly principles at home, and the Church teaches and preaches God’s Word, the Christian school comes alongside and continues to train the child God’s Word and Character. Titus 2:13,14 states, “ Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing to the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.” Until He comes, we are to teach His Word and live godly lives.
Our Christian teachers come alongside the parent to prepare students for adulthood and utilize three educational issues.
Our Christian teachers come alongside the parent to prepare students for adulthood and utilize three educational issues.
- Biblical Values. Students are taught godly principles daily. They begin the day in prayer, a monthly scripture is taught and memorized, the curriculum also teaches 90-character traits of Jesus that promotes Christ-like character. Weekly Chapel Services are conducted to strengthen the students understanding of Biblical Principles.
- Student Accountability. An individualized approach is utilized. Students set daily goals that are reviewed the following day. The students are held responsible for their academic progress. We have a mastery-based approach. The student does not advance until he/she passes the objectives being taught.
- Structured Curriculum. The Accelerated Christian Education curriculum is taught from Kinder through Twelfth grade. Students are placed at their ability level. Immediate one on one help is provided if a student has a question. There are checks and balances to guide students as they learn to take ownership of their learning. They do not have to wait for the other students or get left behind. When a student passes a “PACE” Packet of Individualized Learning, with an 80% or above, they can proceed to the next “PACE”. Scripture memory and Character traits of Christ are presented throughout the curriculum. This, along with the practice and procedures, goal setting and routines require students to develop Godly character. Students in Kinder 4 utilize the ABEKA curriculum.
