VISION STATEMENT
Students who walk humbly, confident in Christ, according to their calling.

MISSION STATEMENT
Freedom Christian Schools seeks to provide Biblical instruction and academic education in a non-denominational Christ-centered atmosphere.  It is our goal to assist each student in reaching their full spiritual, emotional, and physical potential, while recognizing their individual talents and abilities.  We will faithfully endeavor to nurture, discipline, and serve those students entrusted to us, and help prepare them to meet the challenges of our world, while leading a life pleasing to God.


STATEMENT OF FAITH
We believe…

…the Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative written Word of God.
…there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
…in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily    resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal future return to this earth in power and glory to rule a  
   thousand years.
…in the blessed hope-the rapture of the Church at Christ’s coming.
…the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ.
…regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for personal salvation.
…the redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides healing of the human body in answering to believing prayer.
…the baptism in the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:4, is given to believers who ask for it.
…in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life.
…in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation.

  Please understand that in association with Freedom Valley Worship Center, we are Pentecostal in doctrine, but we welcome children from other church doctrines.  While your child is with us, every effort will be made to support the Christian belief system of the parents, and not to conflict.  We offer our statement of faith in an effort to be open and straightforward with who we are, not as a goal for training our students in these distinctive doctrines.  Please feel free to ask any questions concerning these issues.
