Statement of Faith
International Academy provides a distinctly Christ-centered education, in a loving environment. Students and faculty participate in chapel services and Bible classes.
We worship one God who eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe that mankind broke fellowship with God through sin.
We believe God loves us so much that he sent his son, Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, to pay the penalty for our sin.
We believe that a personal relationship with the Father, which begins here on earth and continues into life eternal, is possible through the death and resurrection of Jesus.
We believe that to be reconciled to God, we must accept by faith what God has done through Christ.
We believe that the Bible is God’s Word, completely true, providing his direction and authority for our lives. The Bible shows us how to know Jesus Christ and how to become more like him in all areas of our lives. As we learn to trust Him increasingly, we grow in our relationship with him, guided by the Holy Spirit who lives within us.
We commit to share these realities and our lives with each other, with our students, and with our community. As we uphold one another in our spiritual growth and daily struggles, we look forward expectantly to the imminent return of Christ.
