Deep Faith, High Achievement, Broad Impact
STATEMENT OF FAITH
The Bible—The Bible is God’s Word to us. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without any mixture of error.
(2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20,21; 2 Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119:105, 160, 12:6; Proverbs 30:5)
Biblical Morality Statement
Adventure Christian School (ACS) stands firmly upon the historical truth claims and moral foundations of Christianity. This includes, but is not limited to, the Biblical definition of marriage, the attendant boundaries of sexuality and moral conduct, and the clear Biblical teaching that gender is both sacred and established by God’s design. Parents, or legal guardians, who choose to enroll their students at ACS, are agreeing to support these and other basic Biblical values derived from historical Christianity. Parents understand and agree that ACS will teach these principles and Biblical values. In addition, ACS urges parents to recognize their scriptural responsibility (Deuteronomy 6:1–9, Psalm 78:5–6, Proverbs 22:6) to provide their students with a Christian education and to understand that the primary responsibility for this task rests with the parents (Ephesians 6:4).
SCHOOL GOALS
- To provide a safe learning environment where each student is encouraged to reach his or her potential for God’s glory.
- To teach through Christ-centered curriculum.
- To learn to communicate with God through daily prayer.
- To encourage, model, and teach Biblical principles throughout every part of the school day.
- To develop and maintain a respect and reverence for God through weekly chapels.
- To teach students to apply God’s Word to every aspect of their lives.
- To enable students to become “Students of Character.”
- To develop a servant’s heart to carry out God’s call to humbly uplift others and unselfishly reach out to others in need.
