Statement of Faith
We believe the Old and New Testaments, which constitute the Bible, to be the only inspired, infallible, unchanging, and authoritative word of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:21) — a metanarrative of reality and truth.
We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three divine, distinct, coequal Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1, Matthew 28:19, John 10:30, 1 Peter 1:2).
We believe in the preeminence and deity of the biblical Jesus Christ (hereafter referred to as “Christ”), as the eternal Son of God (Colossians 1:15-19); His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:35), His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15; Hebrews 7:26), His miracles (Matthew 8:14-15, Mark 1:32-34, Luke 4:35-41, John 2:1-11), and His atonement for the sins of mankind through the shedding of His blood on the cross as Savior (Romans 5:8-9, 1 Corinthians 15:3; Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 2:9, 9:22, 1 John 1:7). We believe in His bodily resurrection (John 11:25; 1 Corinthians 15:4) and His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19).
We believe God created man in His own image, male and female (Genesis 1:27), but because of man’s rebellion against God (Genesis 3:1-24), all humanity is inherently sinful (Ecclesiastes 7:20, Psalm 51:5, Romans 3:23), and therefore needs a Savior (John 3:16-18, 14:6, Romans 5:12-21, 6:23), available only through faith in Christ, the only begotten Son of God (John 3:16-17, 14:6).
We believe that because of the inherent and exceeding sinfulness of man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary for salvation (John 3:5-8, Titus 3:5-6); that people are saved only by faith in Christ through God’s grace (Ephesians 2:8-9), and this only through His shed blood (as previously noted), by which we are declared righteous by God (2 Corinthians 5:21, Philippians 3:9, 1 Corinthians 1:30, Romans 4:5).
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling a biblical Christian is enabled to live a life pleasing to God (John 14:26, 16:17-15, Acts 1:8, 2:38, Galatians 5:22-23).
We believe in the imminent and personal return of Christ in power and glory to gather His Church, to judge the living and the dead, and establish His kingdom on earth (Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, Revelation 19:11).
Our Statement of Faith is not an exhaustive list of our beliefs. The Bible, as the inspired and infallible word of God, speaks with absolute authority regarding the proper conduct of mankind and is the unchanging foundation for all beliefs and behaviors. The administration at Liberty Christian School holds final interpretive authority on biblical meaning and application to faith, doctrine, policy, and practice.
School Unity
Although a variety of denominations are represented among our staff and school families, God has blessed Liberty Christian School with much unity. We are exhorted in Ephesians 4:3 to walk worthy of the position we have in Christ, "endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." This is accomplished through intentional faithfulness to the biblical principles of Matthew 18:15-17, Romans 15:1-2, Galatians 6:9-10, Ephesians 4:29-32, et al. We also believe in the importance of cooperation and unity between Liberty Christian School and local Bible-based churches. To foster and maintain this cooperation, it is incumbent upon Liberty Christian School faculty and staff to be active participants of a local church whose doctrine and teachings match Liberty Christian School’s Moral Integrity and Lifestyle Statement, Philosophy, and Statement of Faith.
Biblical Worldview
Upon the foundation of the Liberty Christian School Statement of Faith, in all matters Liberty Christian School operates through the framework of a biblical worldview, defined as:
“A foundational, unified, pervasive, and comprehensive perspective of everything, rooted in and understood through God’s Word (both Living and written). It is not merely a ‘lens’ through which things are seen, but also an understanding that the ‘eye’ that sees through that lens is itself corrupted by sin and must therefore be transformed by that very Word. A biblical worldview is therefore not what WE say the Bible says, but what the BIBLE says the Bible says.”
This is intended to underscore and support essential, historic, and orthodox biblical doctrines (e.g., deity of Christ, salvation by grace through faith, resurrection of Christ and His return, etc.), reject heresies (e.g., salvation through works, anti-trinitarianism, etc.—cf. 2 Timothy 4:3-4) and to avoid “foolish controversies” over debatable matters (e.g., the precise timing of Christ’s return, free will vs. predestination, spiritual gifts, etc.—cf. Titus 3:9).
Philosophy
Liberty Christian School holds a Christ-centered philosophy of education based upon the Bible as defined in our Statement of Faith. The primary objective and purpose of the school is therefore to instruct students in the way of life presented in Scripture, providing them a rigorous college preparatory education through the guidance of educators who are committed disciples of Jesus Christ, confident professionals, and passionate disciple makers (cf. James 3:1, Hebrews 13:17).
