Our Beliefs
Legacy Christian School is dedicated to the instruction of children and young people in the light of the Bible, through which God directs us in our relationships and activities. Our school interprets the Bible through a Reformed "world-and-life" view as expounded in the Heidelberg Catechism, Canons of Dort and Belgic Confession. This Reformed world and life view enables our school to better understand, maintain and teach the following scriptural truths:
The Triune God, who has revealed himself in the Bible, is sovereign as Creator and Sustainer of the universe, and in love redeems and purifies his people. All study at Legacy Christian must take him into account and he must be given first allegiance in our lives.
The Bible
The Bible is the infallible, authoritative word of God through which God enlightens our understanding of Himself, of ourselves, of others and of the world. Through his word, he also directs people in all their relationships and activities, and therefore guides them in the education of their children.
Creation
In their education, God’s children must come to learn that the world and our calling in it can rightly be understood only in relation to God. We recognize that we are caretakers of this creation, holding it in trust for our Lord.
Sin
Human sin is radical and pervasive because every person is guilty of sin, and every person is wounded by the sin of others. Human sin causes us to be alienated from God and our neighbors. Sin disrupts the education of children by distorting our view of the true meaning and purpose of life and misdirecting human culture.
Jesus Christ
Through Jesus Christ, God’s Son and our sole Redeemer, all of life, including teaching and learning, takes on a new perspective. Christ’s death on the cross paid the penalty for our sin and his bodily resurrection ensures his followers of victory over sin, death and hell. Christ is the Light and the Way for our life, so that we can be guided in truth and recommitted to love God and each other.
The Gospel
The Gospel is the good news that salvation is the free gift of God, through faith, not by our own works. Communication of the gospel is an important task that is best shared by the church, the home and the school.
God’s Kingdom
We recognize that God is the sovereign ruler over all and that this world and everything in it is a part of his kingdom.
Calling
Education at Legacy Christian must help its students understand that it is their calling to know God’s Word, to consecrate their whole lives to God’s service, to love their neighbors, to be good stewards of all he entrusts to their care, and to transform culture, bringing it into subjection to Christ.
Schools
The purpose of
Parents
The primary responsibility for education rests with parents. Many Christian parents find that having their children taught by Christian teachers in Christian schools, in addition to instruction provided in the home and church, is the best way for them to faithfully meet this obligation.
Teachers
Christian teachers have an awesome responsibility to educate their students in obedience to God. Christian teachers also find that God uniquely equips them with his strength, guidance, and wisdom when they open themselves to his direction.
