Statement of Faith

Everything we do at Phoenix Christian flows from what we believe. These convictions shape how we teach, how we lead, and how we love our students and families.

Statement of Faith

  • We believe the Bible to be the inspired, only infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21, Psalm 19:7).
  • We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 3:16-17, Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14)
  • We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ (John 1:1, 14; Colossians 2:9), His virgin birth (Matthew 1:22-23, Luke 1:34-35), His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15, 1 Peter 2:22), His miracles (John 2:11, Acts 2:22), His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood (Romans 3:25, 1 Peter 3:18, Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 9:22), His bodily resurrection (Luke 24:6-7, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4), His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Acts 1:9-11, Hebrews 1:3), and His personal return in power and glory (Matthew 24:30, Revelation 19:11-16).
  • We believe that for salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential (John 3:5-7, Titus 3:5, Romans 8:9).
  • We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (John 14:16-17, Romans 8:13-14, Galatians 5:22-23).
  • We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: the saved unto the resurrection of life and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation (John 5:28-29, Daniel 12:2, Acts 24:15).
  • We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (John 17:21, 1 Corinthians 12:12-13, Ephesians 4:4-6).
  • We believe that God has established marriage as a lifelong, exclusive relationship between one man and one woman and that all intimate sexual activity outside the marriage relationship, whether heterosexual, homosexual, or otherwise, is immoral and therefore sin (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6, Hebrews 13:4, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10).
  • We believe that God created the human race male and female and that all conduct with the intent to adopt a gender other than one’s birth gender is immoral and therefore sin. (Genesis 1:27, Genesis 5:2, Deuteronomy 22:5).

Educational Philosophy

  • Our educational philosophy is based on the teachings of the infallible Word of God.
  • The Statement of Faith, as stated in the by-laws, is an integral part of the school’s philosophy of education.
  • The Board of Trustees, Administration, faculty and staff of Phoenix Christian Preparatory School believe the school must be in cooperation with the home and the church for the purpose of serving families who have a desire to see their students educated in a Christian-oriented atmosphere.
  • Phoenix Christian Preparatory School’s view of life is based upon the Bible as God’s only infallible, written revelation to man.
  • Education is directed toward an understanding of God, man, and the universe and their interrelated natures.
  • Students are taught to live a disciplined life under the lordship of Jesus Christ. Discipline based on God’s Word is administered firmly in Christian love.
  • Non-Christian viewpoints are presented to enable students to evaluate all knowledge critically and develop their ability to discern right from wrong.
  • Students are challenged to develop their talents for the honor of God and the service of others in all areas of life. Therefore, the Christian school broadens its influence within the communities in which the students live.

Position on Critical Issues

  • One of the strengths of Phoenix Christian Preparatory School is its place as a missional institution.
  • The joy of sharing the person of Christ and living in unity as a body of believers is, in part, the realization that we have differences in areas nonessential to salvation and that through this recognition and acceptance we can mutually experience that which brings about patience, understanding and love among believers (Rom. 15:5).
  • It is equally important to clearly articulate our position on certain critical issues that are foundational to the mission and values of Phoenix Christian Preparatory School.

The Board Trustees of Phoenix Christian Preparatory School takes a clear position in opposition to each of the following:

  • Recreational drug use, drug abuse of any kind, and drunkenness (Eph. 5:18)
  • Abortion (Psalm 139; Lev. 18:21); (3) premarital sex/extramarital sex (I Thes. 4:3)
  • Homosexuality (Rom. 1:26, 27; Lev. 18:22)
  • Pornography (Ps. 101:3a)
  • Certain issues related to marriage, gender, and sexuality (see Statement on Marriage, Gender, and Sexuality).
  • We teach that man was created by God and in His image (Gen. 1:27).

The Board of Phoenix Christian Preparatory School takes no position relative to the following issues:

  • (1) speaking in tongues; (2) form of baptism, i.e., sprinkling or immersion; (3) election; (4) the church and politics; (5) political endorsements by the Phoenix Christian Preparatory School; (6) healing; (7) communion, (8) age of the earth.
  • No position” is defined as viewing an issue to be nonessential to salvation but which has much variance among Christian evangelical groups as they interpret the Scriptures. Therefore, any formal discussions would be referred to the home and church for that individual to determine for themselves. This would not prevent an individual, if asked, from giving their own personal point of view. Please note there are other important issues not listed here that we refer to the individual, home, and church.

Statement on Marriage Gender Sexuality

  • We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary sexes together reflect the image and nature of God (Genesis 1:26-27). Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of God’s sovereign plan for one’s life.
  • At Phoenix Christian Preparatory School, any efforts to deny one’s biological sex through, for example, modes of dress, chemical intervention, or surgical procedures are impermissible. We believe the term “marriage” has only one appropriate meaning: the uniting of one biological man (man) and one biological woman (woman) in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture (Genesis 2:18-25).
  • We believe God’s design for marriage is the union of one man and one woman (Genesis 2:18-25). Marriage between one man and one woman uniquely reflects Christ’s relationship with His church (Ephesians 5:21-33).
  • We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other (1 Corinthians 6:18; 7:2-5; Hebrews 13:4). We believe that any form of sexual immorality (including but not limited to adultery, fornication, cohabitation, homosexual behavior, bisexual conduct, and use of pornography) is sinful and offensive to God (Matthew 15:18- 20; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10). We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ (Acts 3:19-21; Romans 10:9-10; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11).
  • We believe that every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity. (Mark 12:28-31; Luke 6:31). Hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes directed toward any individual are to be repudiated and are not in accord with Scripture nor the doctrines of the Phoenix Christian Preparatory School.
