What We Believe
PHILOSOPHY & BELIEF STATEMENT:

We believe that parents are the primary educators of their children spiritually, academically, physically, socially, and emotionally. (Numbers 15:37-39a, Eph. 6:4)
-
We believe the Holy Bible is God’s inerrant word. (2 Tim. 3:16, 2 Peter 1:21)

-
We believe Christ died and rose again for the salvation of children and adults. (John 3:16, John 5:24, Titus 3:5)
