STATEMENT OF FAITH

WE BELIEVE in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as inspired by God and inerrant in the original writing and that they are the supreme and final authority in faith and life.

WE BELIEVE in one God, eternally existing in three persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

WE BELIEVE that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Father, born of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true man.

WE BELIEVE that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but that spiritual death which is separation from God, and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature.

WE BELIEVE that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our own sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood.

WE BELIEVE in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into Heaven, and in His present life there for us as High Priest and Advocate.

WE BELIEVE in “that blessed hope” -the personal and imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

WE BELIEVE that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.

WE BELIEVE in the bodily resurrection of the just and unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the lost.

STATEMENT OF CHRISTIAN PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION

"My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." ~Colossians 2:2-3

 A Christian Philosophy of Education must begin, have as its continual frame of reference, and end with the eternal God. Based upon the assertions listed in the Trinity Oaks Christian Academy STATEMENT OF FAITH, CORE VALUES, and DISTINCTIVES, it is possible to establish certain definitive statements in regard to the education process. Christian education will recognize that:

God is the ultimate source of all truth (John 14:6); therefore, His Word (revealed truth) holds a position of priority over human reason and enables all of life, in both its temporal and eternal aspects, to be viewed from the perspective of the centrality of God rather than the centrality of man (Psalm 14:1, Romans 1:18-32). Any distinction between "sacred truth" and "secular truth" is a false dichotomy.

A differentiation must be made between human knowledge and godly wisdom and truth (1 Corinthians 1-2, James 3:13,17), acknowledging that the source of all true wisdom and understanding is God Himself (Proverbs 1:7, 9:10, 15:33).

The purpose of Christian education is to guide the student to the awareness of his/her need of a personal, saving relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and to nurture, admonish, and encourage the student to live in conformity with the revealed will of God through a life of service, wholly dedicated to and dependent upon God (Romans 12).

The process of Christian education requires the natural integration and consistent application of God's Word into every area of the child's life so that s/he may achieve his/her maximum individual learning potential: academic, extracurricular, administrative, etc. (Ephesians 4:4-6).

While Scriptures permit Christian parents to delegate the authority to teach their children, God's Word holds parents responsible for the godly education of their children (Deuteronomy 4:10, 6:6-7, 20:17-18, Psalm 106:34-37, Jeremiah 10:2, Matthew 12:30, 2 Corinthians 6:17, Ezekiel 44-5, Proverbs 22:6). Trinity Oaks Christian Academy partners with the home and church in the fulfilling of this God-mandated mission to parents.


We desire to establish a school that promotes reverence for God, love for the Lord and one another, and encourages inquiry in all areas of creation and culture from a Christian worldview as we prepare students to serve the Lord in their society.
