A guiding principle for our school, this verse underscores the importance of setting children on the right path early in life. Through intentional biblical instruction and guidance during these formative years, we help students develop wisdom and values that will remain with them as they grow.
ABOUT US
VCA's Doctrinal Statement of Faith
- We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God (II Tim. 3:15, II Peter 1:21).
- We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Gen. 1:1, Matt. 28:19, John 10:33).
- We believe in:
• His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19).
• His resurrection (John 11:25, I Cor. 15:40)
• His substitutionary and atoning death (I Cor. 15:3, Eph. 1:7, Heb. 2:9).
• His miracles (John 2:11).
• His sinless life (Heb. 4:15, 7:26).
• His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14, Matt. 1:23, Luke 1:35).
• The deity of Christ (John 10:33).
• His personal return in power and glory (Acts 1:11, Rev. 19:11). - We believe in the necessity of the regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of man’s sinful nature. We are justified by faith in the shed blood of Christ. We are saved only by God’s grace, through faith alone (John 3:16-19, 5:24, Rom. 3:23, 5:8-9, Eph. 2:8-10, Titus 3:5).
- 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 (John 5:28-29).6. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Rom. 8:9, I Cor. 12:12-13, Gal. 3:26-28).7. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (Rom. 8:13-14, I Cor. 3:16, 6:19-20, Eph. 4:30, 5:18).
- We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. (Genesis 1:26-27. We believe the term “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as stated in Scripture (Genesis 2:18-25).
- Based on our biblical and theological study, there is no argument for a “third gender” among humans. Gender confusion and dysphoria are ultimately the biological, psychological, social and spiritual consequences of the human race’s fallen condition. This state of depravity affects all person individually and collectively. While society is at liberty to legitimize any behavior it chooses simply by reclassifying and renaming it, Christ-followers adhere to biblical boundaries. It is our Christian conviction that renaming them cannot normalize sin and its expressions.
WHY CHOOSE CHRISTIAN EDUCATION?
TRAIN
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6)
EQUIP
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
Our approach to education brings this principle to life by integrating Scripture into daily learning. Knowledge of the Bible is essential to the development and growth of each student, as it provides authority and guidance for all matters of teachings, beliefs, and actions.
TRANSFORM
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. (Romans 12:2)
Our goal is for students to thrive academically, spiritually, and socially, becoming well-rounded individuals with a strong foundation. A biblical worldview will equip them to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and integrity as they engage with others beyond our walls.
FAITH
Continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught. (Colossians 2:6b-7a)
Faith is at the heart of our school. By integrating faith into every aspect of learning, we point students toward a life of purpose. Together, we will shape the next generation of leaders who will be positioned to excel in their future endeavors, academically prepared and spiritually grounded — a valuable investment in your child’s future.
