| What We Believe |
Real Life Christian Academy has a diverse student population with several Christian faith traditions represented. We focus on teaching the Bible, not forcing our theology on children. At the same time it is important for parents to understand that we are a Christian school and a ministry of Real Life Christian Church - that distinctive guides all that we do.
Every teacher and administrator is an evangelical Christian and signs our statement of faith. Each student takes Bible classes and must attend our weekly chapel service. We acknowledge the Bible as our authority and the following statements should help you understand the nonnegotiable biblical ideas that fundamentally define who we are:
-
We believe that there is one sovereign God eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is the Creator of all things (1 Chronicles 29:12-12, Psalm 135:6, Acts 2:32-33, Mark 12:29-30).
-
We believe that Jesus Christ, God's only Son was born of a virgin, lived a perfect life, died as a substitute for us, and rose from the grave (Colossians 2:9, Luke 1:30-35, 1 Corinthians 15:3-8, 2 Corinthians 5:21).
-
We believe in the Holy Spirit who convicts the world in regard to sin, righteousness and judgment, and indwells every believer and equips them for personal growth and service to Jesus Christ (John 16:8, Acts 2:38, Ephesians 1:13-14).
-
We believe that man, created by God in His image, willfully sinned and as a result, is lost and without hope apart from Jesus Christ (Genesis 1:27, Romans 3:23, 6:23, Acts 4:12).
-
We believe that salvation – the forgiveness of sins – is available only by the grace of God through the blood of Jesus Christ. This free gift of salvation is offered to all who receive Christ as Lord and Savior through faith (John 3:16, Ephesians 2:8-9, Colossians 2:6, Acts 2:38).
-
We believe those accepting Christ should repent of sin, confess their faith, and be baptized into Him (Romans 10:9, Acts 2:38, Mark 16:16, Acts 8:36-38, Galatians 3:26-27).
- We believe that death seals the eternal destiny of each person. When Christ returns he will pronounce the eternal fate of each individual - the saved to eternal life in heaven, the unsaved to eternal separation from God in hell (Acts 1:10 -11, John 5:28-29, Daniel 12:2, 2 Corinthians 4:14).
