Mission Statement

Evangel Christian Academy exists to be an extension of the Christian family in training and developing of Christian students for committed service to our Lord Jesus Christ. Through quality academic instruction, the impartation of Biblical values and providing activities designed to foster spiritual, academic, and social growth, ECA works to help each student reach their potential in Christ.

Philosophy

The Christian school recognizes the God-given responsibility for education of children rests with the parents (Deuteronomy 6:6-9). The place of the Christian school is to be an extension of the Christian family and should assist and complement the parents in that responsibility. Therefore, the purpose of the Christian school is to provide a school for Christian children of Christian parents.

The Bible is the foundation for the education of our children. From the scriptures we understand that our God desires certain principles, beliefs and values to be developed in our children. These include:

The view that all knowledge is to be interpreted from a Biblical perspective. All academic subjects are to be taught with an understanding of the absolute Biblical truths God has established.

Respect for authority (Romans 13:1; Hebrews 13:17). One’s views of authority directly influences his concept of God.

The meaning of true success and how it is achieved (Joshua 1:8; Proverbs 22). The key is for each person to discover what God’s will is for himself, and then to do it through developing the traits that are good and correcting those that are not.

The personal acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior (John 3:3). Salvation is essential for success in any area of Christian education.

Respect for the right of others (Luke 6:31). Following the Golden Rule helps improve relationships.

Personal integrity (Psalms 1:1,2; Ephesians 4:29). Honesty and truth are to be upheld at all times.

Productivity and the desire to always do one’s best (Ecclesiastes 9:10; II Timothy 2:15). A healthy work ethic has application in so many areas of life.

Personal conviction and Christian witness (James 4:17; Matthew 5:16; Matthew 28:19-20). Being willing to take a stand for the cause of right and declare the Gospel of Jesus Christ in word and deed is much needed in today’s world.

Holding to the traditional family structure (Genesis 2:24). God’s plan for the family is still one man and one woman for one lifetime.

Moral purity (1 Corinthians 3:16-17; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20).  Since our bodies being to God, we must refrain from any act that would defile or degrade them, and maintain personal health and hygiene in order to strengthen them.

Patriotism (Romans 13:6-8).  Love and respect for America and those who have sacrificed to preserve our freedom is the duty of each one who lives in a nation so blessed of God.  This attitude coupled with prayer for our country (2 Chronicles 7:14) is vital in keeping our nation strong.

It is, therefore, the goal of Evangel Christian Academy to teach and support these principles, beliefs and values in our role as an extension of the Christian family in the process of educating our children.

Statement of Faith

We believe and teach that the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative, inherent Word of God (2 Timothy 3:15; 2 Peter 1: 21).

We believe and teach that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons Father, Son, and Holy Spirit who created man by a direct immediate act (Genesis 1:1, 26-27; Matthew 28:19; John 10:30).

We believe and teach the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ (John 10:33); His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:35); His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15; Hebrews 7:26); His miracles (John 2:11); His vicarious and atoning death (I Corinthians 15:3; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 2:9); His bodily resurrection (John 11:25; 1 Corinthians 15:4); His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19); His personal return in power and glory (Acts 1:11; Revelation 19:11).

We believe and teach the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature; and that men are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ and that only by God’s grace through faith alone we are saved (John 3:16-19; John 5:24; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:8-9; Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 3:5).

We believe and teach the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation (John 5:28 - 29). 

We believe and teach the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Galatians 3:26-28). 

We believe and teach the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling and infilling enables the Christian to live a godly life and witness to the saving grace of Christ (Acts 1:8; Romans 8:13-14; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; Ephesians 4:30; Ephesians 5:18; Titus 2:11-14).
