The Spiritual Development of a Student

While other schools spend their time and focus preparing students for college or for a job, we spend our resources preparing students for life. God has a unique purpose for each student's life. School should be a place where that purpose is discovered and developed.

We equip students with a Christian worldview so that they can understand God's truths regarding real world issues like history, abortion, politics, wealth, hunger, and marriage. Students learn the relevance of biblical truths, the purpose of evangelism, and the importance of discipleship. In 10th and 11th grades, they learn Greek and Hebrew to enhance their Bible literacy. Grace Prep students are equipped to share their faith, discuss evolution, creation, world religions and influential philosophies. Everything that we do, from planning the football program, to choosing the 10th grade reading list, reflects our commitment to God and grace.

Statement of Faith - The Apostle's Creed

At Grace Prep, we believe that schools cannot teach truth effectively if they don’t acknowledge Jesus Christ as the foundation for all Truth. Truth hasn’t changed since the earth was created, so we haven’t created our own statement of faith. We’ve adopted one that’s been around for a while. The Apostles' Creed received its title because of its great antiquity. It dates from very early times in the Church, a half century or so from the last writings of the New Testament. Students at Grace Prep will memorize the Creed and learn to view everything through it—from how to respond to a basketball defeat to why we should use mathematics to defend the Creation of the world.

We believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:

And in Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

We believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy universal church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting.
