Kingdom Preparatory Academy
 
In partnership with Christian parents, Kingdom Preparatory Academy strives to teach children how to live for a purpose larger than themselves (faith in and love for Jesus Christ), how to distinguish right from wrong (truth and morality), how to incorporate positive values into their lives (academic excellence and self-discipline), and how to stand courageously against the negative values that bring harm to themselves and others (encourage brotherly love and community service).
.....for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Luke 18:16

Spiritual Objectives
General: The Spiritual Objective of Kingdom Preparatory Academy shall be to provide its students, parents, and staff with a Christian environment that is conducive to the Christian growth and maturity of each. Parents, staff, and school board members must, therefore, be in agreement with the school's statement of faith and with its position as a non-denominational school.



Statement of Faith:
1. The Word of God.  We believe the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments are the only inspired, infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God, complete as a revelation of God’s will for salvation, and the supreme and final authority in faith and life.  (2 Timothy 3:15; 2 Peter 1: 21; Revelation 22:19)and we adhere to its orthodox interpretation regarding all  matters, including but not limited to the sanctity of life beginning at conception, the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman, et al.  We believe all other books external to the Bible – (i.e.) Book of Mormon, Non-Protestant Bible Translations, Modern Day Writings from Bible Teachers, etc., are man’s attempt to interpret God’s Word and thus should not be held as the inspired Word of God.

2. The Trinity.  We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy  Spirit. Each person is fully God, sharing the same nature and attributes. (Genesis 1:26,  Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 3:16-17, Matthew 28:19)
 

3. God the Father.  We believe in God the Father, an infinite, personal Spirit; perfect in holiness,  wisdom, power, and love.  We believe He concerns himself mercifully in the affairs of men, hears  and answers prayer, and saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ. (John 16:23-27, Galatians 4:4-6, Ephesians 1:3, Ephesians 1:17-23)
 

4. God the Son.  We believe that Jesus Christ is God’s eternal son.  He is true God and true man,  conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.  We also believe His sinless life, His  substitutionary atonement, His bodily resurrection from the dead, His ascension into heaven, His  priestly intercession on behalf of His people, and His personal, visible, return from heaven.   (Matthew 1:18, 23, Luke 24:1-8, John 1:14, Acts 1:11, 2 Corinthians 5:19-21, Hebrews 4:14-16,  Hebrews 7:24-25, Revelation 19, 20)  
 

5. God the Holy Spirit.  We believe the Holy Spirit is a person and is fully God.  He regenerates,  baptizes into the body of Christ, indwells every believer, guides and empowers believers, and gives  gifts to all believers to be used in ministry so that the church functions properly.  We affirm all the  gifts of the Holy Spirit as necessary for the building up of the Body of Christ.  (Matthew 28:19,  John 3:5, John 16:13, Acts 1:8, Acts 5:3-4, 1 Corinthians 6:11, 19, 1 Corinthians 12:4-13,
Romans 12:3-8, Ephesians 3:16, Ephesians 4:11-16) 

6.  The Deity of Christ.  We believe in the deity of Christ (John 10:33) in that He was completely God and completely Human, He (Christ) was not a created being such as the angels are; His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:35); His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15; 7:26); His miracles (John 2:11); His vicarious and atoning death (1 Corinthians 15:3; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 2:9); His physical bodily resurrection (John 11:25; 1 Corinthians 15:4); His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19); His personal return in power and glory (Acts 1:11; Revelation 19:11).
 

7. Man.  We believe God created man, male and female, in the image of God and free from sin.  We  further believe that man because of his fall in Adam, is a sinner by nature and choice and is therefore  spiritually dead, in need of salvation.  (Genesis 1:26-27, Genesis 2:7-3:19, Romans 3:23, Romans 5:12-21, Romans 6:23)
 

8. Salvation.  We believe in salvation by grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ.  We further believe  that this salvation is based upon the sovereign grace of God, was purchased by Christ on the cross, and  is received by man through faith alone, apart from any human merit, works, or ritual. Salvation results  in righteous living, good works, and proper social concern.  (John 1:12, John 3:3-7, John 5:24,  Romans 3:21-24, Romans 5:1-2, Ephesians 2:8-10, 1 Timothy 2:5)
 

9. Last Things.  We believe in the bodily resurrection of the saved and lost, the eternal conscious  existence of all men either in heaven or hell, and in divine judgments, rewards, and punishments.   (John 5:29, 1 Corinthians 3:11-15, 1 Corinthians 15:51-58, 2 Corinthians 5:6-10, 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18, 2 John 8, Revelation 19, 20)
 

10. Unity.  We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.  (Romans 8:9, 1 Corinthians 12:12-13, Galatians 3:26-28)
 

11. Christian Conduct.  We believe that the supreme task of every believer is to glorify God in his  life. The believer should live blamelessly before the world, be a faithful steward of his possessions,  and seek to realize for himself the full stature of maturity in Christ.  (1 Corinthians 10:31,  Colossians 1:28, 1 Timothy 6:6-9, 1 Peter 1:14-15)
 

12. Church Involvement.  Families must be active members of a local group of believers meeting on a routine basis, submitted to the authority of a pastor/elder in which they receive teaching, accountability, and encouragement in God’s Word in order to stand firm in uncompromising biblical convictions.  (Hebrews 10:24-25, 13:7, 17; I Timothy 4:13; Acts 2:42)
