Mission Statement
Trinity Christian School’s Mission is to contend for the faith in the hearts and minds of students.
We pursue this mission by partnering with parents to provide their children a biblical education in a classical model. Through rigorous academics, enriching fine arts, and competitive athletics, we equip and challenge students to evaluate all of life through the light and Lordship of Christ. Our goal is to graduate young men and women with the spiritual, intellectual, and practical wisdom to flourish as faithful citizens in the kingdoms of heaven and earth.
Vision Statement
trinity christian school will raise up generation after generation of young adults trained in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
TRINITY CHRISTIAN SCHOOL STATEMENT OF FAITH
Trinity Christian School adheres to the following Statement of Faith. This statement of faith does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs. The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe. For purposes of Trinity Christian School’s faith, doctrine, practice, policy, and discipline, the Session of Trinity Presbyterian Church is Trinity Christian School’s final interpretive authority on the Bible’s application. In areas of secondary and tertiary doctrines, the School recognizes that families may ascribe to theological positions other than those expressed in the reformed theology of the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms. While teachers provide biblical instruction and counsel in accordance with Westminster Standards, they recognize and respect the authority of parents over their own children.
The Word of God
— We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the inspired, inerrant Word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and life.
— We believe in one true and living God existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, co-equal and co-eternal.
— We believe that the heavens and the earth and all things in them were created by God.
The Image of God
— We believe God created man in His image, and the first man, Adam, sinned against God incurring physical and spiritual death for himself and for all who descended from him by ordinary generation.
— We believe all human beings are born with a sinful nature and need the Savior, Jesus Christ, to be reconciled to God.
— We believe that all human life is sacred and created by God in His image. Human life is of inestimable worth in all its dimensions, including pre-born babies, the aged, the physical or mentally challenged, and every other stage or condition from conception through natural death. We are therefore called to defend, protect, and value all human life (Psalm 139).
— We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as either male or female, and that these two distinct, complementary sexes together reflect the image and nature of God (Genesis 1:26-27). Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person.
— We believe that every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity (Mark 12:28-31; Luke 6:31). Hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes directed toward any individual are to be repudiated and are not in accord with Scripture nor the policies of Trinity Christian School.
The Person and Work of Christ
— We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, truly God and truly man, begotten of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
— We believe Jesus Christ by His righteous life and obedient death obtained redemption for all His people.
— We believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave, His ascension into heaven, His session at the right hand of the Father, and His personal and visible return to this earth at the end of this age.
— We believe all who are born again of the Holy Spirit receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith, become children of God by adoption, are indwelt by the Holy Spirit, are enabled more and more to die to sin and to live righteously, and do persevere to the end.
— We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ (Acts 3:19-21; Romans 10:9-10; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11).
— We believe in the bodily resurrection of all persons, the judgment to come, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the lost.
Marriage and Sexuality
— We believe the term “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture (Genesis 2:18-25).
— We believe that marriage between one man and one woman, for life, uniquely reflects Christ’s relationship with His Church (Ephesians 5:21-33).
— We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other (1 Corinthians 6:18; 7:2-5; Hebrews 13:4).
— We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman.
— We believe that any form of sexual immorality is sinful and offensive to God (Matthew 5:16; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10).
— We believe that in order to preserve the function and integrity of Trinity Christian School and to provide a biblical role model to the student body and the community, it is imperative that all families enrolling students in the school as well as all persons employed by Trinity Christian School in any capacity, or who serves as volunteers, agree to and abide by this Statement of Marriage and Sexuality (Matthew 5:16; Philippians 2:14-16; 1 Thessalonians 5:22).
— Trinity Christian School is a ministry of Trinity Presbyterian Church, a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). Membership in the denomination requires that we follow the constitution of the church, which is outlined in the PCA Book of Church Order, and includes a clear definition of marriage in The Westminster Confession of Faith (esp. chapter XXIV), along with the other authoritative statements by the denomination. As a church in the PCA, we are obligated to comply with these constitutional definitions and statements.
