What we value
We value the Bible. As educators for the church, we affirm the reliability and authority of scripture. It is in scripture that we learn how God seeks to redeem the world, rectify injustice and reconcile peoples.
We value the local church. God's kingdom was announced as present in and by Jesus Christ, and the church is Gods primary agent for kingdom work. the local church is a center of celebration and edification, providing a place for persons to be redeemed, modeling redemption as a counter society, and equipping believers to be salt and light for the city.
We value pastoral leadership. God calls men and women to the vocation of pastoring. Pastoral leadership, as modeled in Jesus is servant leadership, rooted in scripture and prayer. We value lay leadership. The church has been graced with numerous spiritual gifts. These gifts, alongside those of the pastor, form the basis for leadership - giving vision and structure to the work of the church. Value the city. Throughout scripture, we learn that God cares for cities, the prophets bring words of repentance in hope of redemption o and for the cities.

We value empowerment through education and training. The original mantra of the school was Hosea 4:6 " My people are destroyed by a lack of knowledge of my word". The scriptures call God's covenant people to gain wisdom and knowledge, to study, to ponder, and people to gain wisdom and knowledge, to study, to ponder, and to grow in an understanding of Him and His word.
