MISSION:

Magnolia Christian School seeks to glorify God and advance His kingdom by partnering with parents in academic excellence, spiritual maturity, and gospel-centered community.

PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION:

Magnolia Christian School invites parents to partner with teachers and administration in the education of their child(ren). Once partnering with a family, we lead their education by providing direct instruction and structured tasks for their academic year. We seek to collaborate with families in educating and edifying their students through an academically rigorous, encouraging, creative, and well-organized environment, as well as in upholding behavioral and community expectations as set forth in our policies. Ultimately, we desire to partner with parents in nurturing and encouraging mature, passionate followers and worshippers of God.

STATEMENT OF FAITH:

Magnolia Christian School embraces the truths of the Nicene Creed:

We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, eternally-begotten of the Father; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made. Who, for us and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the living and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.

And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets.

And we believe in one holy catholic* and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

*Use of the word “catholic” in this context refers to the collective church around the world, NOT the Roman Catholic Church. We are a Protestant Christian organization.

Furthermore,

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 His will for the salvation of men, and the Divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.   

We believe in one God who is Creator and Ruler of the universe, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal. 

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father, and is fully God and fully man in one person. He was born of the Virgin Mary, and lived a sinless human life. He offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for our sins by dying on the cross. Further, He arose bodily from the dead, demonstrating His power over sin and death. He ascended into Heaven, where, at the right hand of the Father, He now is our High Priest, and Intercessor. He will return again someday to earth to reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.

We believe in the deity of the Holy Spirit; that He is equal with the Father and the Son as God. He convicts and regenerates the believing sinner, and indwells, baptizes, seals, guides, gifts, instructs, and empowers the believer for godly living and service.

We believe that humanity was created in the image of God, but by voluntary transgression fell into sin and is thereby separated from God.

We believe that the death of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and reconciliation to God. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ can man be saved from sin’s penalty and receive God’s gift of eternal life. 

We believe that the church is composed of all true believers in Jesus Christ and are united together in the body of Christ of which He is the Head.

We believe that God created marriage to be the union of one biological male and one biological female in a single, exclusive union, as recorded in Scripture. We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other. We believe that God has commanded that no sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman.
