The mission of Central Christian Academy is to provide an education that will equip students with the knowledge and experiences they need to have to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and grow the fruit of the Spirit within their home, church, and school. To develop each student into an effective Christian through the planting of God s Word in humble hearts. To assist them at stemming integrity, fostering relationships, and sprouting knowledge. To become transformed into fruit bearing vessels Central Christian Academy s Core Values LOVE God and others Be filled with JOY Let PEACE rule PATIENTLY wait Show KINDNESS Know GOODNESS Stay FAITHFUL Act with GENTLENESS Use SELF-CONTROL We believe the Bible, both the Old and the New Testaments, are verbally inspired by God and inerrant in the original writing and is God s final word to humanity for faith and practice. We believe in one eternal and holy God who exists as three persons -- God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe in the creation of the world by God in six literal days by the word of His mouth. We believe that man was created in the image of God. However, because man disobeyed God, all men are born with a sinful nature which alienates them from God and condemns them to eternal death. We believe God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to be born of a virgin, to live a sinless life, to die a cruel death as a sacrifice for the sins of all mankind, and to have victory over death, and that He now lives in Heaven interceding for believers. We believe that all who place their trust in Christ are justified in the eyes of God by the blood of Jesus as the only payment for their sins. Acceptance of His gift of salvation is the only basis for a personal relationship with God and salvation from eternal death. We believe God sends His Holy Spirit at salvation to live within each who accepts Christ as his Savior, to convict of sin and to guide him in accordance with His Word. We believe in the imminent return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust -- the just to eternal blessing with the Lord and the unjust to everlasting punishment.
The motto of the school is Where Home, Church, and School Work Together. There is more to this statement then just a tag line under our school logo. It defines the learning theory within the school. The basic agency of Christian nurture is the family (Brummelen, 2009, p.6). The second agency of Christian nurture is the church (Brummelen, 2009, p.6). Both of these means implement learning theories on our students. Working together with them and being unified in our beliefs creates an effective learning environment. When one of these three institutions stands alone and in disagreement with the other two, a child suffers. The home, the church, and the school ideally form an educational tripod standing firm on the base of the Word of God and the flame of Christ s Spirit (Brummelen, 2009, p.7). All curriculum and behaviors must be built on the Bible. The home, church, and school must uphold a belief in the infallible word of God. Without Him there is no source or standard to measure ourselves by. Learning theories, while customized to the individual, accomplish education. It is important to realize that education is infinite because the source of Truth is infinite. The classroom environment encourages students to develop a relationship with Christ and live out the fruit of the Spirit. The curriculum and behavior management system at the school uses the fruit of the Spirit as a guide. An environment where the Holy Spirit is present will be effective in learning. If the Holy Spirit is present, His fruit will grow in and through our behavior, teaching, and learning. While it is impossible to teach a child to bear the fruit of the Spirit, it is possible to create an environment where the fruit grows more readily. Students who recognize spiritual growth and the bearing of His fruit will be intrinsically motivated to serve Him and learn. According to Luke 13, a tree that does not bear fruit deserves to be cut down. Just as the farmer in this chapter pleads with Christ for the opportunity to care for the tree, it is the responsibility of the school to assist the home and church at cultivating each child. Students at Central Christian Academy must be active participants in their own learning. The classrooms within the school assess students abilities beyond standardized tests. Students are encouraged to learn and made to enjoy their surroundings while at school. The following values and beliefs are set forth as the basis for building the educational program of Central Christian Academy: God ultimately owns everything, including all children (Romans 14:7-8; Ezekiel 18:4, 20). God is also holy (Lev. 11:44). He desires that we should also be holy. To enable that to occur, He has provided an eternal sacrifice through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. When we receive Christ, our sin dies with Him. The resurrection of Jesus Christ, enables the acquisition of a new nature according to II Peter 1:4. That new nature reflects the holiness of God and enables the believer to live a holy life and bear the fruit of the Spirit in our world. Holiness should be a goal for all believers and for our education programs. The Bible, being the Word of God, is the final authority in all matters of life and living. Psalm 19:7 says, The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The law of God, His revealed Word, is a condition for life, as desired by God, to exist. Therefore, it is the critical aspect for all education. Brummelen, Harro Van (2009).
