Purpose
Our vision is to train young champions for Christ who are equipped to serve the Lord by being prepared spiritually, academically and physically.
Mission statement
God has called Trinity Christian Academy to assist Christian families and their churches in providing a Biblically-directed, academically excellent education that equips students to be Godly leaders and servants in their homes, churches, and communities.
Statement of faith
We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be inspired by God, inerrant in the original writings and accurately maintained over the ages by God's Spirit. They are the only supreme and final authority for the rule of faith and life for all men.
We believe in only one living and true God, who externally exists in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, having one substance, power and eternity, perfectly sovereign, holy and unchangeable and infinite in being.
We believe that man and the universe were created by an immediate and direct act of God. Also, we believe that man was created in the image of God, but he chose to sin and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death which is eternal separation from God and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature and become sinners in thought, word and deed. All human beings stand accountable before and to God for their sins.
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born to the Virgin Mary, and is truly God and truly man, yet one Christ, the only mediator between God and man. Also, we believe that He was crucified on a cross, died and was buried and resurrected by God. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father as our High Priest, King and Savior of His Church.
We believe that the Lord Jesus died for our sins according to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice and that all who believe in and trust in Him alone are justified on the grounds of His shed blood and perfect, righteous life. We further believe that all who receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again by the Holy Spirit, and thereby, become children of God and are being sanctified by God.
We believe that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will personally return and set up His Kingdom wherein He will rule and reign in righteousness.
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just to eternal blessedness according to the pattern of Christ's own glorious body and the bodily resurrection of the unjust to eternal punishment.
