Statement of Faith & Kingdom Education Distinctives

Statement of Faith

  • We believe and teach the Holy Bible, God’s only inspired, infallible, authoritative, written Word, to which nothing can be added or taken away.

• We believe and teach the sovereignty of one God, creator and governor of the universe and man: that God is eternally existent in three persons, as God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.

• We believe and teach that man, made in God’s image and likeness, given the choice, yielded to temptation by Satan, disobeyed God, fell into sin, thereby incurring God’s judgment, and revealing man’s great need for a Savior.

• We believe and teach that JESUS CHRIST is God’s promised Savior to man.

• We believe and teach that JESUS CHRIST as Deity, God’s only begotten Son, came to the earth through the virgin birth, to provide, through His shed blood, His atoning death on the cross, resurrection, and ascension to the right hand of the Father, man’s only means of redemption or salvation from sin and its everlasting punishment.

• We believe and teach that the sinless life of our Savior Jesus Christ, His miracles, His accessibility to all men, women, and children, reveal God’s grace and love. We look forward to the promised return of our Savior in power and glory to reign on earth.

• We believe and teach that the Holy Spirit, Third Person of the blessed Trinity of God, took up His abode on earth, on the day of Pentecost, and that by His indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life.

• We believe and teach that the bride of Christ, the Church, is empowered to carry out the Savior’s great commission, and to preach the Gospel of liberty, both internal and external, to all men and nations, and to bring His healing message of the unity of all believers.

• We believe in and teach the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost: those who are saved unto the resurrection of life and those who are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

Multi-Age Classrooms

Most people are perplexed at the thought of multiple grades in one classroom. To be honest though, it is more perplexing to believe both girls and boys of all the same age are at the same stage developmentally in content areas such as math in reading. Does it not make more sense to group students according to their ability level and not their chronological age? Multi-age classrooms make this more feasible. For example, say there is a girl in 4th grade who is on a 5th grade reading level but on a 3rd grade math level. In a multi-age classroom, she is easily placed in the 5th grade reading group and the 3rd grade math group thereby challenging her at the appropriate ability level.
