MISSION STATEMENT AND PHILOSOPHY
Our mission is to provide academic excellence based on Biblical principles. We are committed to equip each student intellectually, socially, physically and spiritually.
It is our purpose to personally see that the education we provide is both excellent and thoroughly Christian. We diligently seek to instill the time-honored values of faith in God, love of family, patriotism, respect for authority, and hard work. Our responsibility is to nurture, instruct and train students in order to help parent s fulfill their God-given mandate to “train up a child in the way he should go” (Prov. 22:6) and to “bring them up in the fear and admonition of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4).
We give the Bible and its teaching a prominent place in the curriculum. We can be an effective place for learning only if we provide a God-fearing environment accompanied by consistent discipline and orderliness. It is, therefore, our purpose to provide sound academic training integrated with a distinctly Christian view of God and the world.
The hub of human relations at Heritage Christian Academy is mutual concern for each other in the spirit of respect and love. This is evident in the general atmosphere of the school, and specifically in the personal relationships between teachers, pupil, staff and parents. We exist in an atmosphere of positive living. Teachers and parents seek to develop and reinforce positive qualities in a child as well as correct negative ones. Specific qualities include:
- A respect for God
- A respect for themselves
- A respect for others.
We would like to reinforce that God places the immediate responsibility for training upon the children’s parents, promising to give Divine guidance to those who seek it. Parental cooperation plays a strategic part in the success of our school.
STATEMENT OF FAITH
- We believe in the Bible as the only authoritative word of God; it is eternally reliable in all matters of Christian faith and practice.
- We believe there is only one God, eternally existent in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- We believe in the deity of Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, His personal return in power and glory.
- We believe that God created marriage to be exclusively the union of one man and one woman, and that intimate sexual activity is to occur exclusively within that union.
- We believe that God wonderfully and immutably created each person as a male or female, and that these two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God.
- We affirm that salvation is by grace, through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
- We affirm that repentance from personal sin toward God, faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit are necessary to salvation.
- We affirm the resurrection of both, the saved and the lost, those who are saved to the resurrection of life and those who are lost to eternal punishment.
- We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
- We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
These are the principles by which Heritage Christian Academy was founded and these principles shall be taught to the students enrolled in the academy. The Statement of Faith does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs. The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe. For purposes of Heritage Christian Academy’s faith, doctrine, practice, policy and discipline, our Board of directors is Heritage Christian Academy’s final interpretive authority on the Bible’s meaning and application.
