Find out what Christ Lutheran Academy students love about their school:
 | A small school – that feels like “family”, that is safe and where I “fit in”. | |
| Personal Attention – where I am valued and where I get the help I need and am | |
| encouraged to do my best. | ||
| Opportunities to be involved – a place where I “can do” things I never thought I would | |
| try and where I can be and grow as a leader. | ||
| Christ at the center – knowing I can be open about my faith and where I am challenged | |
| to grow and serve others. |
| Our Mission We are dedicated to preparing students as disciples of Jesus Christ through academic excellence and development of individual talents and abilities. |
What We Value
Through the power of the Holy Spirit and with God leading us, we are committed to:
What We Believe
+ We believe in the Triune God – God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We
believe in one God in three persons.
+ We believe that God the Father created the universe. He is loving, compassionate, just
and kind. His deepest desire is to live in an intimate relationship with all people, and He
constantly extends an invitation to experience that relationship to all humankind.
+ We believe that, because of God’s desire to live in a relationship with us, God became a
human being in the person of Jesus. Born to the virgin, Mary, Jesus is both fully God and fully
human. Jesus came to embrace us with God’s love through his death and resurrection,
removing all the barriers – sin, guilt, and shame – that keep us from enjoying that embrace. We
believe that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Through Him and Him alone people can
experience a relationship with God their Creator.
+ We believe that the Holy Spirit is the presence of God among us. Through the Spirit, God
lives in us and empowers us to live the Christian life. We believe that all Christians are Spirit-
filled and have Spirit-given gifts that enable them to serve Christ through the church, in the
community, and around the world.
+ We believe that the Bible is God’s Word and is absolute truth. The entire Bible is God-
breathed and God-inspired and is the only authority for faith and life.
+ We believe that the church, be it a local congregation or the worldwide fellowship of
believers, is the Body of Christ. As His Body, we are invited to worship him, serve Him, and be
the vehicle through which the Good News of Jesus Christ is shared with the world.
+ We believe that through the waters of Baptism God initiates and welcomes us into a
relationship with Himself. He adopts us into His family, making us His own, offering us all of
the promises and gifts of the Gospel. Through Baptism God gives the gift of new life.
+ We believe that human beings have been created in the image of God and therefore have
supreme worth and value. Their worth is not dependent on accomplishments, but on God’s
love. God sees humanity as worth dying for, therefore, we uphold the dignity of each individual.
+ We believe that humanity is separated from God because of sin. We joyfully proclaim the
Good News that because of Jesus Christ forgiveness is a reality. God sent Jesus, not to
condemn, but to save us – to deal with the problem of sin on our behalf. Because of Jesus we
can enjoy God’s love and kindness each day.
+ We believe in and anticipate the return of Jesus. Though we don’t know the day or the
hour, we joyfully proclaim His soon return. At the last day, Jesus will judge all people who have
ever lived. His judgment will show his perfect justice and his amazing grace. Believers in Christ
will live with him in heaven in perfect happiness forever. Those who die rejecting God’s
forgiveness will go to never-ending punishment in hell.
