Purpose
We believe education is about more than academics. It's about forming the whole person - mind, character, and faith. At Faith Bible, students are known, challenged, and encouraged to grow into who God has created them to be. Every part of school life - in the classroom, on the field, and in community - contributes to that formation.
Mission statement
Every subject, taught in the light of Scripture.
We don't separate faith from learning. Every subject is taught through the lens of a biblical worldview.
Students learn to think clearly, work diligently, and see truth across disciplines - from literature to science to the arts. Our goal is not just knowledge, but wisdom: students who understand the world and their place in it.
Statement of faith
Scripture
We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are inspired of God, inerrant in the original writing, and of supreme and final authority in faith and life.
Mark 12:26, 36; II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:21
We believe in one God existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, co-equal and eternal.
Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19-20; John 1:1-14; Acts 5:3; Acts 5:4b; II Corinthians 13:14; Hebrews 1:1-2; Revelation 1: 4-8; Revelation 22:12-13, 20
We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned, and that he thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death which is separation from God. All human beings are born with a sinful nature. If and when they reach the age of moral responsibility, as determined by God, they become sinners in thought, word, and deed. Genesis 1:26, 2:17; Psalm 14:1-3; John 1:1-2; Romans 3:10-19, 23; Ephesians 2:1-3
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten of the Father by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true man. John 1:1-2; Luke 1:35; I Peter 1:3a; I Timothy 2:5; Philippians 2:5-8
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him are justified by His shed blood. Leviticus 17:11; Isaiah 64:6; Romans 3:24-25; Romans 4:25; Romans 5:6-9; II Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 3:4-9; I Peter 1:18-19, 23; I Peter 1:3-5
We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord Jesus, in His ascension into Heaven, and in His present life there for us as a High Priest and Advocate. Hebrews 7:25; Romans 8:34; I John 2:1-2; I Corinthians 15:3-8, 20; Ephesians 4:8; Acts 1:9
We believe in that blessed hope, the personal and visible return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I Thessalonians 4:13-18, 1:10; John 14:1-3; Titus 2:11-14; II Thessalonians 1:7; Matthew 24:30, 44b
We believe that all who receive, by faith, the Lord Jesus Christ, become born again of the Holy Spirit, and thereby become children of God. John 5:24; Romans 5:1; Ephesians 2:8-10; I John 5:13; John 3:16-18; John 1:12; I John 3:1-2
We believe in the eternal preservation and everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the eternal conscious punishment of the lost. Romans 8:1, 38-39; John 6:37-40; Ephesians 1:4-7, 13-14; John 10:27-30; I Corinthians 1:4-8; Revelation 20:15; Revelation 22:3-5; Revelation 22:11
We believe that the grace of God gives each believer freedom, not freedom to sin, but freedom to respond to God in a trust relationship as the Holy Spirit directs our lives. This direction will cause each believer to live an abundant Christian life. Ephesians 5:17-19; John 10:10b; Romans 6:18, 22; Romans 8:2
Stance On Cultural Issues
Sanctity of Life
We believe that all human life is sacred and created by God in His image. Human life is of inestimable worth in all its dimensions, including pre-born babies, the aged, the physically and mentally challenged, and every other stage from conception to natural death. We are therefore called to defend, protect, and value all human life regardless of race, creed, color, or national origin. (Psalm 139).
Marriage
Because God has ordained marriage and defined it as the covenant relationship between a man, a woman, and Himself, Faith Bible Christian School will only recognize marriages between a biological man and a biological woman.
Gender & Sexuality
We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God (Genesis 1:26-27). Rejection of one's biological sex is a rejection of the image of that person created by God. For the purpose of enrollment to FBCS and participation in activities, the student's gender indicated on the birth certificate will be utilized without exception. Further, a student's dress attire, appearance, and actions shall be consistent with the gender blessed upon them at birth.
We believe, also, that sexual immorality (including adultery, fornication, homosexual behavior, bisexual conduct, incest, and use of pornography) is sinful and offensive to God. (Matthew 15:18-20, 1 Cor. 6: 9- 10). As such, behavior of this type from a member of the Faith Bible Christian School community could result in dismissal from school.
Redemption
While Faith Bible Christian School holds firmly to its beliefs and standards, it is also imperative to stress that we believe that God offers redemption and restoration for all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His forgiveness through Jesus Christ. (Acts 3:19-21, Romans 10:9-10)
