Statement of Faith & Core Values
|
" Our daughter attended TPCA for only her eighth grade year, yet the impact of the environment changed her life. She flourished from the challenges of being held accountable academically, developing relationships in a Christian framework and feeling safe to take chances in an encouraging environment. She was able to develop socially with like-minded peers. She formulated a routine that included Bible study, homework and an enthusiasm for attending school. It was the best decision we have made as parents."

At Traders Point Christian Academy, we believe in the following Statement of Faith:
· We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God (II Timothy 3:15,
II Peter 1:21).
· We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons - the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1, Matthew 28:19 and John 10:30).
· We believe in the deity of Christ (John 10:33), his virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14, Luke 1:35), his sinless life (Hebrews 4:15 & 7:26), his miracles (John 2:11), his vicarious and atoning death (I Corinthians 15:3, Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 2:9), his resurrection (John 11:25, I Corinthians 15:4), his ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19) and his personal return in power and glory (Acts 1:11, Revelation 19:11).
· We believe in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature and that men are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ and that only by God’s grace and through faith are we saved (John 3:15-21 & 5:24, Romans 3:23, 5:8-9 & 6:1-10, Ephesians 2:8-10, Titus 3:5).
· We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those that are saved to the resurrection of life and those that are lost to the resurrection of damnation (Matthew 25: 31-46 & John 5:28-29).
· We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9, I Corinthians 12:12-13, Galatians 3:26-28).
· We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (Romans 8:13-14, I Corinthians 3:16 & 6:19-20, Ephesians 4:30 & 5:18).
· We believe in the equality of races because there is no distinction in God’s treatment of people (Romans 2:11, Ephesians 5:18).
· We believe in the Lord’s Great Commission, that we are bound to extend the gospel of God to all we reach (Matthew 28:18).
· We believe in the physical return of Jesus Christ to claim the saved and judge the lost (Matthew 24:42-44, 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11; Revelation 19:11-18).
· We believe in the unique creation of male and female in the image of God and in the sanctity of marriage defined as the union of one man and one woman (Genesis 1:27 & 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6, Ephesians 5:31).
· We believe all Christians are called and gifted by God for ministry in His Kingdom (Romans 12:3-8,
I Corinthians 12:7-13).
At Traders Point Christian Academy, we believe in the Core Values of:
FAITH
We believe Jesus Christ is God's Son and the only Lord and Savior of all creation. (Matthew 16:13-17; Ephesians 1:3-14; Colossian 1:15-23; Hebrews 9:11-15)
KNOWLEDGE
We believe God is the pre-existent Creator and the ultimate source of all truth and knowledge. (Genesis 1-2; Romans 1:18-32)
VALUES
We believe there is a core set of values found in God's Word, the Bible, that determine our goals, actions, speech and the framework of our relationship with others. (II Timothy 3:16-17; Proverbs 4:20-27: Ephesians 4:25-5:20)
HOME
We believe the school shares a co-worker relationship with the parents or guardians of the students. (Deuteronomy 6:1-9; Ephesians 6:4)
EDUCATION
We believe formal schooling offers structured learning opportunities to develop skills needed for the successful completion of each developmental stage of life. (Romans 12:1-2; Ephesians 4:20-24)
TEACHERS
We believe teachers not only instruct, but also serve as role models for their students. (John 13:12-17; I Timothy 4:10-16)
SUCCESS
We believe success in education is reflected in a child’s confidence and ability to apply what he or she has learned to situations outside of the classroom. (Proverbs 2:1-11 & 3:1-18)
APPLICATION
We believe it is important for the principles of Christ-like living to be learned and practiced every day by the Christian community for the world to see. (Matthew 5:3-16 & 18:15-17; Acts 2:42-47; Romans 12:3-12; I Corinthians 12:7-11)
