FCS MISSION STATEMENT

Freedom Christian School is committed to providing a biblically-based, academically excellent education in a nurturing, family environment so its students can effectively accomplish the purpose for which they were created and impact the world for Christ. 

             

FCS PHILOSOPHY

We believe that education is the process of developing a person spiritually, intellectually, socially and physically through understanding and applying truth.  Through this process, a student is equipped to live a productive, godly life and is trained to pursue truth and its varied application as they fulfill their purpose in a global society.

This philosophy is addressed in the following ways:

FCS STATEMENT OF FAITH

 

We believe the sixty-six books of the Bible to be the only inspired, infallible and authoritative Word of God. (II Timothy 3:16, II Peter 1:20-21)

 

We believe that there is only one God, who is unchanging and is eternally existent in three co-equal and co-eternal Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (John 14:15-18)

 

We believe in the full deity and full humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood.  His death on the cross paid the full penalty for our sins.

 

We believe in Christ’s bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal, physical return in power and glory. (Luke 1:35, John 1:1-18, John 14:1-11,  Acts 1:1-11, Acts 2:22-39, Hebrews 10:8-10)

 

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by indwelling the Christian, enabling him to live a Godly life. (Acts 1:4-8, Galatians 5:16-26)

 

We believe in 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. (II Corinthians 5:1-11)

 

We believe that heaven and hell are definite places. (Matthew 5:22, Luke 12:5,

John 14:1-6, Hebrews 9:27)
