Core Values

  • Biblical Authority - We believe the Bible is the authoritative Word of God, worthy of our commitment to study through proven methods, so that we may know God more deeply, strengthen our allegiance to The Gospel, and live in reliance on the transformative power of Scripture.

    • 2 Timothy 3:16-17 | Psalm 19:7-11 | Matthew 22:37 | Romans 12:2

  • Discipleship and Scripture Application - We humbly pursue being doers of God’s Word by allowing timeless truths to transform us, believing that obedience and good works flow from a life that’s being shaped by an intimate knowledge of the biblical Jesus and the living and active Word of God.

    • James 1:21-15 | James 2:14-26 | Galatians 2:20 | Matthew 28:19-20

  • Building up The Church - We seek to generously and lovingly serve our spiritual family–local churches and the wider Body of Christ, while reflecting the light of Christ in our immediate communities through the giftings and callings we might discover in the course of the school, so that others might be drawn to worship the Father.

    • Ephesians 2:10 | Ephesians 4:11-16 | 1 Corinthians 12:1-31 | 1 Peter 4:10-11
