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

FCS PHILOSOPHY

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.

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)
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (John
17, Ephesians 2:14-22)
