Our Story & Mission
Discover who we are, what we believe, and how we’re guiding students and staff to live for Christ.
The Truths That Anchor Us
Our Foundation of Faith
We believe in the authority of Scripture—the Bible is God’s inspired Word, written by men but breathed out by Him (2 Timothy 3:16), and every part points to Christ (Luke 24:27). It is our ultimate guide for faith and life. We worship one God eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19). God the Father is Creator of all, all-powerful, all-knowing, and worthy of our whole-hearted love (Deuteronomy 6:4-5).
We confess that Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, was born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14), lived sinlessly (Hebrews 4:15), died for our sins, rose victorious (1 Corinthians 15:3-4), and will return as King. The Holy Spirit, given at Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4), convicts, regenerates, and empowers believers with gifts (1 Corinthians 12:7-11) and fruit (Galatians 5:22-23) for God’s glory.
We affirm that all are lost without Christ (Romans 3:23), but through faith in Him, we are saved (Ephesians 2:8-9). God desires none to perish (2 Peter 3:9), so He calls us into the Church—Christ’s living Body (1 Corinthians 12:27)—where we grow together in holiness until He returns.
