What We Stand For

Mission

As a Christian independent school, the mission of Providence Academy is to provide

“Uncompromising excellence in educating and equipping students with Truth.”

Statement of Faith

Every activity Providence Academy undertakes is guided by biblical principles and its Statement of Faith. That Statement of Faith is as follows:

  • We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
  • We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  • We believe in the deity 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, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
  • Salvation is by grace through faith only in Jesus Christ, through his substitutionary atoning sacrifice apart from any human merit.
  • We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
  • All persons will experience resurrection; believers to a state of eternal joy with Christ and unbelievers to eternal punishment in hell.
  • We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Christian Ministry

Providence Academy is a Christian ministry that proclaims, advocates, supports, advances, and defends the good news that God in the person of Jesus Christ paid the penalty for our sins and offers forgiveness and eternal life to all who repent and believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

Every ministry, activity, and role of Providence Academy centers around and is based upon this good news, i.e., the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

This specifically requires:

  • faculty and staff to teach the Christian faith to students and guide and disciple students, by word and deed, toward the goal of living their lives per the Christian faith and a deeper personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
  • faculty, staff, and Board members to:
    • wholeheartedly affirm the school’s Statement of Faith and the truth of Scripture in the Holy Bible at all times during their service at Providence Academy.
    • maintain a standard of Christian conduct and lifestyle at all times that is in accordance with the school’s Statement of Faith and biblical standards (as interpreted by Providence Academy). Such behavioral expectations are necessary to maintain the distinctly Christian identity and mission of Providence Academy.

While Providence Academy has a definite commitment to the person and Gospel of Jesus Christ, part of its exercise of its religious beliefs is to minister to families and students who do not fully share its beliefs by living into the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20).

Parents are expected to support and be respectful at all times of Providence Academy’s exercise of those beliefs for so long as they are part of the Providence Academy community. Parents should expect that their children will be taught and discipled in accordance with Providence Academy’s Christian beliefs and teachings while attending the school.
