The Full Story
First Assembly Christian School was birthed in the fall of 1997 after much prayer, fear and trembling, and research. The calling became stronger than the resistance and thus by faith the school ministry began.The vision—clearly given by the Spirit of the Lord—was to facilitate a Christ-centered, Bible-based academic institution for Christian families who have committed to “training up their children in the way they should go” (Proverbs 22:6).Since our inception, God has blessed and expanded this ministry.
First year enrollment totaled 45 students in grades K5 through 8th. The 2016 school year, we welcomed 220 students! Our objective then and now is to provide an affordable, academically excellent alternative education based on the values and standards found in God’s Word.Psalm 118:23, “This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.

Statement of Faith
STATEMENT OF FAITH
We believe and teach that the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, is inspired, the only infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God (2 Timothy 3:15; II Peter 1:21).
We believe and teach that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – who created man by a direct immediate act (Genesis 1:1, 26 – 27; Matthew 28:19; John 10:30).
We believe and teach the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ (John 10:33); His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:35); His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15; 7:26); His miracles (John 2:11); His vicarious and atoning death (1 Corinthians 12:3; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 2:9); His bodily resurrection (John 11:25; 1 Corinthians 15:4); His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19); and His personal return in power and glory (Acts 1:11; Revelation 19:11).
We believe and teach the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature, and that men are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ, and that only by God’s grace through faith alone we are saved (John 3:16-19; 5:24; Romans 3:23; 5:8-9; 2:8-10; Titus 3:5).
We believe and teach the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and them that are lost into the resurrection of damnation (John 5:28-29).We believe and teach the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Galatians 3:26-28).
We believe and teach the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling and infilling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life and witness to the saving grace of Christ (Acts 1:8; Romans 8:13-14; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:19-20; Ephesians 4:30; 5:18; Titus 2:11-14).
