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) |
