SPIRITUAL PRACTICES


We are believers: We believe that Jesus Christ is who He claimed to be – the One and only begotten Son of God. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no one comes to the Father except through Him. We believe the Holy Spirit has been given to us to empower us to live in close relationship with the triune God, to obey Him daily, and to fulfill His purpose for our lives. We believe that God creates each person as uniquely male or female, and that the Bible teaches that marriage is a covenant relationship between a man and a woman.


We are sons and daughters of God: (Rom 8:14-17) At the core of who we are, we are created to be loved by our Father. We are unfulfilled outside of full communion with Him. Everything we will ever accomplish in life will be rooted in our identity as sons and daughters of God. We must live, create, love and serve FROM APPROVAL not for approval. We want our students to know who He says they are and therefore fulfill their purpose from overflow of relationship instead of striving for place.

We are worshipers: In worship, we continually discover His worth and, in turn, our worth is shaped (John 4). We were designed to respond to His presence. We believe creativity is rooted in relationship with the Creator. Our students will learn to passionately express worship through the creative arts (song, dance, music, writing, music theory, ensemble, drama, painting and/or drawing).

We are multipliers: We are commissioned by Jesus to make disciples of all nations. All of us are commanded to preach the Gospel in word and in action, knowing that signs and wonders follow those that believe. (Mark 16:15-18)

We are His ambassadors: In Matthew 16, Jesus gives us the keys to the Kingdom. He gives us access and authority to release the atmosphere of Heaven on earth through prayer. Our students will regularly practice using this authority in intercession for restricted nations, our nation, our city, our families, lost loved ones, etc... We teach our students their powerful position as an ambassador and joint heir of Christ in bringing His Kingdom to earth. (Eph 2:6)

Declaration: We declare that the leadership of our school is of good moral character; and subscribes to the historic creeds of the Christian church (the Apostle’s Creed, the Nicean Creed, and the Creed of Chalcedon); and recognizes the authority of the Scriptures in all matters of faith and practice.
