STATEMENT OF FAITH

   We believe in the existence of one triune God, Whom in unity, manifests Himself in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that the Bible is inspired of God and is the authoritative revelation and will of God for teaching relationships and obligations of righteous living among humans. We believe that humans are accountable to God for their thoughts, decisions, and actions.

   We believe in the sacrificial life and gift of Jesus Christ to atone for the sins of humans. We believe in His intercessory work in heaven on behalf of mankind. We believe that salvation rests with God through His son Jesus Christ. We believe it is incumbent upon individuals to accept the gift of salvation and to permit the Holy Spirit to produce righteousness in individual lives as  expression and evidence that He is indwelling their lives. We believe that those who practice the teachings of Jesus should be charitable in their attitude and conduct and tolerance of non-Christians to present a positive influence toward their conversion and salvation.

   We believe in the ministry of angels among humans. We believe that the Holy Spirit is active in influencing one's understanding of what is right and wrong and the application of Scripture in our lives. We believe the Holy Spirit's contacts and influence in one's life will be consistent with what the Bible teaches.

   We believe that God is desirous that all humanity be saved; We believe that Christian education is a strong and effective medium through which God works to help and to save children and youth. We believe that Christ-centered training provides the knowledge, nurturance, and empowerment to  a child's so that he or she will be prepared to make important life choices.

    We believe it is the responsibility of the church, home, and school to teach children that they are the creation of a loving, powerful, and helpful God. We believe that as Creator and Redeemer, God is the ultimate authority in one's life. We believe that children and youth should be taught to obey authority figures, whether in family, church, community, state, or nation, as long as expectations from them are not inconsistent with the revealed will of God.

    We believe that God severally endows each child and youth with abilities and resources consistent with His will for his or her life. We believe that it is incumbent upon each student and teacher to make conscious efforts to achieve up to his or her maximum individual potential as an expression of acknowledgement and gratitude that God is the Giver of every good gift, as Scripture teaches.

    We believe in the existence of Satan and hell of the Bible. We believe that mankind is caught-up in the controversy between good and evil, as explained in the Bible. Nevertheless, we believe in an All-Wise, All-Powerful, and Ever- Present God, whom is able and willing to help all who call out to Him for help in accordance with His will. With the help of God we believe that individuals can realize their best possible situation and, or learn how to endure hardness, which can develop faith and trust in God.

    We believe in practicing the presence of God, even as children. The Bible teaches us that God will always be with us. We understand we need the support of His presence. We believe we should endeavor, by the Spirit of Christ, to live in harmony with His teachings so that we may be instruments of helping others toward salvation and improvement in their quality of life.

    We believe that the beginning and end of faith is not our perception of what God has done, or what God can do for us. We believe that faith is a gift from God which grows as one's relationship with God is developed, and an understanding of His Words and is learned and accepted.

    Finally, we believe in the effectiveness of prayer. We believe that God wants to assist us in making an acceptable offering to Him of our lives, and also in doing good for humanity and other living things and our physical  environment. We believe that prayer brings us closer to love, appreciation, and acceptance of holiness; and as a result, increases and improves our methods and quality of thanksgiving and praise to God for Whom He Is, rather than for what we want, or what He has done for us.

    We believe that Satan is against the school. We believe sometimes some officials have been overly zealous in trying to defeat the school, due to some extent, their insensitivity for the impact of economic and racial privations on minority citizens, who attempt self-help projects that more advantaged citizens are better prepared to do without as much hardships.  We believe other officials have been sensitive and helpful. We believe that the independent status of the school is a blessing to our community. We believe that few able individuals or entities in the community,  know of, or care enough about the great financial and other needs of such an independent, non-profit, that does not belong to a church or denomination, to provide the amount of regular support needed  on an on-going basis, to keep the school operative. We believe the school has been unduly challenged, due in some part to, lack of funding, inadequate facilities, to some naiveté as to, how to get some tasks accomplished efficiently and effectively.

      Nevertheless, we accept that God has been faithful to His promises "to be with us";  We believe God has blessed our student products, and will, in His own time, assist us in necessary improvements and resources.  We believe that when God comes through in His strong way, He will enable us to not only remain in operation, but to assist more students to secure a disciplined, Christ-Centered Education, while learning how to think more and more highly and positively about their self-worth as individual creations of God, and as  Christians; and if not Christian, we will be able to assist our precious students in becoming better persons, able to live with others in an increasingly diverse world.  We fully believe that God will bless us to attract the resources, and gain the knowledge that will make our visions for students, staff development, and appropriate facilities,  reality and bring further glory to His name.        ***
