Goals & Beliefs

The following statements are the basic Christian convictions of our school. They represent the personal beliefs of all our staff and board members and will be the basis of our teaching:

  • We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
  • We believe the Bible to be the only authoritative, inspired, infallible and inerrant Word of God.
  • We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His atoning death for the sins of the world, His bodily resurrection, and His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His future personal return to the world in power and glory.
  • We believe in the regenerative power of the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature; and that men are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ and that only by God's grace and through faith alone are we saved.
  • 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.
  • We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in the Lord Jesus Christ.
  • We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit who enables the Christian to live a Godly life.
