Statement of Faith

Victory Christian Academy is founded on the Holy Scriptures as interpreted in the statement of faith of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). The doctrinal position of Victory Christian Academy:

1. We believe the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of God’s will for the salvation of men, and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life (II Timothy 3:16-17; John 14:26; 16:12-15).

2. We believe in one God (Deut. 6:4), Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three-persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (II Corinthians 13:14; Matthew 28:19).

3. We believe that Jesus Christ is true God (John 1:1) and true man (Hebrews 2:14), having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary (Luke 1:34-35). He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins..., was buried..., and raised on the third day according to the Scriptures (I Corinthians 15:3-4; 20:24-29), ascended into heaven (Acts 1:1-9), where He is now our High Priest and Advocate (Hebrews 7:25-26; I John 2:1; Philippians 2:5-7). He will return in power and glory (Acts 1:11; Revelation 19:11).

4. We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ (John 16:14) and during this age to convict men (John 16:8), regenerate the believing sinner (John 3:5-8), indwell (I Corinthians 12:3), guide, instruct (John 14:26), and empower the believer for godly living and service (Ephesians 5:18-21).

5. We believe that man was created in the image of God according to scriptural accounts (Genesis 1), but fell into sin (Genesis 3) and is therefore lost (Romans 5:12-21) and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained (John 3:5-8).

6. We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe (Hebrews 9:22-28; Romans 4:25), and only such as receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit, and thus become the children of God (John 1:10-13; 3:5-8).

7. We believe that the true church is composed of all such persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the body of Christ of which He is the head (Colossians 1:18-22).

8. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord (I Corinthians 15:51-53; I Thessalonians 4:13-18), and of the unbeliever to eternal judgment. (Revelation 20:7-15).
