We believe the Bible is the verbally inspired Word and revelation of God, completely inerrant, infallible, and God-breathed (Psalms 19:7-11; II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:16-21). We affirm the total deity and humanity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, and that He is the incarnation of the Father through whom all things were created (John 1:1-14; Philippians 2:5-6). We acknowledge the universality and exceeding sinfulness of mankind, believing that humanity is utterly lost without Jesus Christ (Ezekiel 18:4; Romans 3:1-26; Romans 6:23). We profess the substitutionary atonement of Jesus Christ, who by God's grace tasted death for everyone, affirming that all people must experience spiritual rebirth or remain eternally lost (Hebrews 2:9; John 6:44-69; John 3:1-18). We proclaim the physical resurrection of Christ, His bodily ascension into heaven, and His ongoing role at the right hand of God as mediator, priest, and advocate (Acts 3:12-26; John 20; Hebrews 9:24; 1 Corinthians 15:12-28). We worship the Triune God, eternally manifest as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, recognizing the Holy Spirit as the infallible interpreter of Scripture. We anticipate the personal, pre-millennial return of Christ, both for His saints and with His saints, to reign for a thousand years (I Thessalonians 4:13-18; I Corinthians 15:50-55; Revelation 19:19-20; 20:1-6). We believe in Heaven as a place of eternal blessedness and Hell as a place of eternal suffering (II Corinthians 5:1-10; Revelation 20:1-15, 21-22). We affirm the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in all believers, acknowledging one baptism yet multiple fillings by the Spirit (Romans 8:14-27). We uphold the Great Commission of Jesus Christ to evangelize and disciple all nations, baptizing and teaching obedience to His commandments (Matthew 28:16-20; Acts 1:8). We believe that genuine followers of Christ will live lives marked by good works (Ephesians 4:1-32; Titus 2:1-5; Titus 3:1-11). Lastly, we recognize the personal reality and existence of Satan (Revelation 12:1-10; Matthew 4:2-11; Isaiah 14:12-17; John 8:44).

Our educational philosophy is Christ-centered and Biblically grounded, emphasizing spiritual growth, academic excellence, and character development to equip students to positively impact their world.
What is the school's philosophy on education?
We believe that a Christian education should be available for families of all economic levels. To achieve this, we support our mission through extensive, long-term sustainable fundraising. We pray our mission resounds with the hearts of members of the body of Christ everywhere as we seek to carry out the great commission right here in the Lake Almanor Basin. The only way we can provide this education at an affordable rate is through Christians recognizing this call and making long-term commitments to fund this ministry.
We are excited to see God continue working in this huge step of faith.
“Go, therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you…” (Matthew 28:19-20a NAS)
