WHO WE ARE
MISSION
To aid and support Christian families in educating their children from a Biblical perspective and to equip them with the requisite knowledge, skills, and values so that they might influence culture and society for Christ.
PHILOSOPHY
We recognize that parents have a God-given responsibility to train their children. We also recognize that all truth is from God and strive to teach from a Christian worldview. It is our desire to work together with parents to prepare students spiritually, morally, socially and academically, so that they will grow in grace and the knowledge of God and affect their world for Christ.

PURPOSE
​
1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative, inherent Word of God.
(II Timothy 3:15, II Peter 1:21).
2. We believe there is only one God existent in three persons -Father, Son and Holy Spirit
(1 John 5).
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, 7:26); His miracles (John 2:11); His vicarious and atoning death (I Corinthians 15:4); His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19); 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, 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 we are saved
(John 3:16-19, 5:24, Romans 3:23, 5:8&9, Ephesians 2:9&10, Titus 3:5).
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 &29).
6. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9, I Corinthians 12:12 & 13, 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,
I Corinthians 3:16, 6:19-20, Ephesians 4:30, 5:18).
