Foundations

Vision: The only reason we exist is to serve the Lord Jesus Christ and the families He sends us.

Mission: To provide a Christ-centered education that prepares our students spiritually, academically, socially, and physically for the life’s work that God gives them. (Luke 2:52)

As a ministry of the Temple Baptist Church, we believe that we exist for the following reason: That we are an extension of the church and seek to promote the same directives that Christ gave to His church which is:

To disciple believers so that they might serve their Lord more effectively in all vocations of life.
To reach out to those in need of a living faith by sharing Christ with them both verbally and by our Christ like example.
That parents might be helped in carrying out their God-given responsibility of training their children in the knowledge of God. (Deuteronomy 6:6-7; Proverbs 22:6; Ephesians 6:4)
That our children might come to an understanding and appreciation of our responsibilities, rights, and freedoms as citizens of the United States of America.
That our children be prepared spiritually and academically for life, that is, that they receive a solid foundation for life in the basic academic subjects such as reading, mathematics, grammar, science, and social studies; and that they understand these subjects in the light of God’s Word.
That our children develop, understand, and appreciate good music, art, and literature; and that they recognize and reject that which is evil and degrading. (Philippians 4:8)
That our children understand that their bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. They shall be developed in a balanced program of physical education. Our school’s team will be taught that winning is fun, and every effort will be made to win every game. Winning a game, however, is not as important as having a good Christian testimony. (I Timothy 4:8; I Corinthians 9:24-27)
To work with the students in cooperation with their parents, to help them learn self-discipline under the direction of God’s Word. Our approach is to teach right from wrong by providing moral guidelines and boundaries.

Partnership: We view education as a partnership between parents and the Academy. (Proverbs 22:6; I Timothy 6:2

Truth: We acknowledge absolute truth, as revealed in God’s Word, and its relevance to our lives in all areas of life. (John 14:6)

Glorification: We seek to glorify God, the Lord Jesus Christ, in all activities to promote a Christian testimony before a lost world. (Philippians 1:21)

Discipleship: We desire to disciple our students in God’s Word so that they might serve their Lord more effectively in their chosen vocations of life. (Matthew 28:19)

Submission: As a ministry of the Temple Baptist Church, we are under the authority of this local assembly and the leadership of its pastor. (Hebrews 13:7)

Respect: Each person is created in God’s image and therefore will be treated with respect. (I Peter 3:15)

Excellence: Continuous improvement and the pursuit of excellence will underlie all that we do. (I Corinthians 9:22)

Honesty: Our relationship and academic performance will be based on honesty and fairness. (Romans 13:13; Psalm 25:21)

Communication: Our success in fulfilling our mission and vision is coupled with our ability to communicate effectively with our constituents. (Colossians 4:6)
