Statement Of Faith
The Scriptures
We believe the Holy Scriptures, the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, in their entirety, to be complete, final, and the only revealed Word of God to His church, and accept them as verbally inspired of God, inerrant in their original language so as to be the supreme authority in all matters of faith and practice.
God
We believe in the triune God. The Scriptures reveal one and only one living and true God, infinite and intelligent Spirit, the Maker and Supreme Ruler of heaven and earth, eternally existing in three persons: FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT, but one in substance, essence and power, though executing distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of redemption.
The Fall
We believe that God originally created man in His own image, and free from sin, but through the temptation of Satan, he transgressed the command of God and fell from his original holiness and righteousness; whereby his posterity inherit a nature corrupt and wholly opposed to God and His law, are under condemnation, and as soon as they are capable of moral action, become actual transgressors.
Jesus Christ
We believe in Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son, our sole Mediator; we further believe in His pre-existence, His incarnation, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His substitutionary atonement, His bodily resurrection from the grave, His ascension, His present intercessory work before the throne of the Father, and His personal, visible, imminent, pre-millennial return from heaven.
The Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is a divine personality, and not a mere emanation, influence, or force; equal with the Father and the Son, and of the same essence and nature; that He is almighty, merciful and just; that He is holy, righteous, and true; that He is eternally existent, glorious in nature, possessing the attributes of omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence; that He was active in creation; that He restrains the world, the flesh, and the devil; that He witnesses to the truth, converts the lost, extols the harmony with His divine office, comforts, teaches, testifies, preaches, guides, regenerates, empowers, sanctifies, and anoints, thus exercising the quickening role in the work of saving the lost, and the supervising role in the life of the saved.
Salvation
We believe in salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, apart from human merit, works, or ceremonies. We further believe in the preservation of the saints.
The Church
We believe a local New Testament church to be an assembly of disciples immersed upon profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, united in the belief of what He has said, and covenanting to do what He has commanded. We further believe that the local church under the Holy Spirit is autonomous and congregational in operation, being free from interference by an ecclesiastical or civil authority.
Believer'S Baptism
We believe that believer's baptism is an ordinance of the Lord Jesus Christ given to the church and obligatory upon every believer, wherein he is immersed in water in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, as a sign of his fellowship with the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, of remission of sins, and of his giving of himself up to God, to live and walk in newness of life. It is a pre-requisite to church membership.
The Lord's Supper
We believe that the Lord's Supper is an ordinance of the Lord Jesus Christ given to the church to be observed till He comes.
Purpose
Bible Baptist School exists for the purpose of providing quality Christian education for the children of parents committed to the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior. Our goal is to integrate the Word of God with all academic disciplines taught. We strive for excellence in all things, not to receive the plaudits of men, but to glorify God.
Recognizing the home to be the primary instrument in the nurturing of children, we stand ready to assist families in their God-given responsibility of training young people for Christ. We strive to prepare our graduates with a God-centered worldview that will enable them to face a hostile environment in contemporary society. To have our students see all of life through the eyes of God is our goal.
In order to accomplish the aforementioned, we pledge:
- To maintain a close walk with the Lord through Bible study, prayer, witnessing, and involvement in the local church
- To implement the finest curriculum available, employ the most effective instructional aides in the education of every student, and to use our God-given talents to the fullest
- To seek the salvation and/or spiritual maturity of each student
- To be consistent in our treatment of all students and to fairly administer the rules and regulations set down in the handbook
- To be always available to meet with parents to discuss ways to help their children improve grades, demeanor, or walk with the Lord
In order to accomplish the above we ask you to pledge:
- To pray for the school and the staff on a regular basis
- To speak positively about the school to your child and others in the community
- To keep open channels of communication between the home and school
- To be regular in your attendance at all school functions
- To show a real interest in your child's school work
- To show a real interest in your child's spiritual development
- To provide a quiet study area at home and a special time for studying
- To be very selective about the type of TV shows your child watches and the friends with whom you allow your children to associate
- To be willing to curtail your child's extra-curricular activities or after-school job if they interfere with his or her schoolwork
- To support the school as it applies and implements the rules and regulations of the student handbook
Philosophy of Christian Education
The following statements represent the heartfelt convictions of each board member, administrator, and teacher at the school.
- God is the Creator, Sustainer, and Sovereign of the universe.
- God has revealed Himself to man through creation, the Bible, and the incarnation.
- Jesus Christ is God and is the One that can bring man to a saving relationship with God.
- The Holy Spirit is God and is the One that indwells the Christian, convicting him of sin, illuminating the truth of God to him and empowering him to obey God.
- Man was created in the image of God and without sin.
- As a result of the fall, all men are born separated from God and alienated from Him.
- Fellowship with God can only be restored through salvation in Christ.
- The Bible reveals who God is, what He has done, and His standard of conduct for man.
- Parents are responsible to God for the educating of their children.
- The Christian school serves to assist parents in the education of their children. This is done by employing born again believers committed to the infallibility and authority of the Scriptures who will:
