OUR MISSION

Providing students the EXPERIENCE of our natural environment in order to DISCOVER the fundamental concepts necessary to GROW in mind, body and Christ.

THERE IS ONE ETERNAL TRUE GOD.

ALL OF MANKIND IS MADE IN GOD’S IMAGE.

THE CHRISTIAN LIFE IS LED AND EMPOWERED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.

THERE IS NO GREATER JOY THAN TO FOLLOW CHRIST AND KNOW HIM.

  • We believe there is One eternal true God. He is three persons, Father, Son (Jesus) and Holy Spirit.

  • God created all things for his fame and renowned.

  • We believe that Man and Woman are a deliberate and special creation of God, made in His own image, as the crowning work of His creation. Therefore a person’s race, gender and sexuality are beautiful, sacred and part of the goodness of God's creation. God does not make mistakes and fully intends for humans to embrace the qualities and excellent purpose dictated by their biology and corresponding gender.

  • We believe that all mankind is rebellious and exchanges God for their own desires and passions. This exchange (sin) separates man from God, but recognition of this exchange and repentance and faith in Christ unifies Man to God once more.

  • We believe that God established marriage as a lifelong, exclusive relationship between one man and one woman and that all intimate sexual activity outside the marriage relationship, whether heterosexual, homosexual, or otherwise, is contrary to God’s plan and thus immoral and therefore sin.

  • We believe that the Holy Bible was written by men, divinely inspired by God, inerrant and relative to modern life. We hold that Scriptures are our final authority.

  • We believe that the Christian life is led and empowered by the Holy Spirit (God) who produces characteristics such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

  • We believe that there is no greater JOY than to follow Christ and to know Him. In doing so it is a challenging, satisfying and meaningful life-long journey with ups and downs. These are designed to refine and build a person to be a product for demonstrating God’s grace and Glory. God began and will finish the work he started in every believer. Those who believe are secure in the knowledge that God is with them and for them.

OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH…

God IS A CREATOR,

A REDEEMER,

A PRESERVER &

THE RULER OF THE UNIVERSE.

GOD IS SOVEREIGN.

HE IS LIVING & ACTIVE.

GOD IS PERFECT.

Although it is a mystery that is difficult to explain, we understand the Father, Son and Holy Spirit to be one, unified, distinct, without division of nature, essence, or being. God IS PERFECT, nothing short of perfection enters into His presence. God is indescribably breathtaking, intelligent, spiritual, and personal. HE is the Creator, Redeemer, Preserver, and Ruler of the universe. GOD IS SOVEREIGN over all things. God is infinite, all-powerful and all knowing. His perfect knowledge extends to all things, past, present, and future, including the future decisions of His free creatures. To Him we owe the highest love, reverence, and obedience. He is LIVING and ACTIVE in HISTORY and in the PRESENT.

Once upon a time mankind and God enjoyed a relationship. God gave each person a conscience and made himself evident in creation… Nevertheless, man and woman exchanged God for their own passions and desires. This is called Sin, it separates us from God. Separation from God is total…and every person is eternally separated from God and in a state of condemnation.

Yet, God being rich in justice, mercy and love, He made a way for man to be reconciled to Himself. Jesus is real and the living incarnate God. He is alive and seated at the right hand of God. Jesus is God, he left heaven, and according to prophecy was born of a virgin woman. Jesus lived a perfect life and died for the sins of man, thus satisfying the legal requirement of punishment for sin. Therefore, he provided a way to escape the wrath of God and the punishment for breaking the law of God.

Salvation comes from personal faith in Jesus Christ. Believing Jesus is Lord, who died on the cross as a substitute for our sin. Jesus was resurrected, ascended into heaven and will return. Through faith in Jesus, God calls all human beings to himself for reconciliation and salvation from his wrath. Human beings respond to this call by confession of their sins and repentance. This is the beginning of a life-long journey. Following Christ produces spiritual growth. The avenues for growth are personal prayer, Bible study, worship, service and fellowship with other believers. Participation in a local Bible-Teaching Church enhances maturity.

There is no greater JOY than to follow Christ and to know Him. In doing so it is a challenging, satisfying and meaningful life-long journey with ups and downs. These are designed to refine and build a person to be a product for demonstrating God’s grace and Glory. God began and will finish the work he started in every believer. Those who believe in God are secure in the knowledge that He is with them and for them.
