Mission statement
Equipping our students with academic excellence and a discerning faith.
Statement of faith
1. We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament as verbally inspired by God, inerrant in the original writing, and of supreme and final authority in faith and life. (2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:21)
2. We believe there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Gen. 1:1;John 10:30,37-38)
3. We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His Lordship over all of life, and in His personal and imminent return. (John 10:33; Is. 7:14; Matt. 1:23; Luke1:35; Heb. 4:15, 7:26; John 2:11; 1 Cor. 15:3; Eph. 1:7; Heb. 2:9; John 11:25; 1 Cor. 15:4; Acts 1:11; 1 Thess. 5:1)
4. We believe that the Holy Spirit's ministry includes conviction of sin, and the regeneration, indwelling, and filling of believers, enabling them to live the Christian life. (Rom. 3:19,23; John 3:16-19, 5:24; Eph. 2:8-10;Titus 3:5,6; Eph. 5:18; 1 Cor. 3:16, 6:19,20)
5. We believe in man's direct creation in the image of God, his subsequent fall into sin resulting in spiritual death, and the necessity of the new birth for his salvation. (Gen. 1:26-28, 5:1-2; John 3:16-19; Rom. 3:23, 5:8, 9)
6. We believe that any form of sexual immorality (including but not limited to adultery, fornication, homosexual behavior, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, and use of pornography) is sin and thereby offensive to God (Matt. 15:18-20, 1 Cor. 6:9-10), and that participation in the new birth leads us away from such activities (2 Cor. 5:17, Acts 15:20, 29).
7. We believe that salvation is complete and eternal, by God's grace alone, received as the gift of God through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His finished work. (Eph. 2:9-10; Titus 3:5)
8. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of eternal damnation. (John 5:28,29)
9. We believe in the spiritual unity of born-again believers in one true Church, the body of Christ, and in the organization of its members in local churches. (Rom. 8:9; 1 Cor. 12:12,13; Gal. 3:26-28)
