The Aletheia Difference

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God (II Timothy 3:15, II Peter 1:21).

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1, Matthew 28:19, John 10:30).

We believe in the deity of Christ (John 10:33); His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:35); His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15, Hebrews 7:26): His miracles (John 2:11): His vicarious and atoning death (I Corinthians 15:3, Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 2:9): His resurrection (John 11:25, I Corinthians 15:4): His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19); His personal return in power and glory (Acts 1:11, Revelation 19;11).

We believe in 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 (I John 3:16-19, John 5:24, Romans 3:23, Romans 5:8-9, Titus 3:5).

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost are unto the resurrection of damnation (John 5:28-29).

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9, I Corinthians 12:12-13, Galatians 3:26-28).

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose dwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (Romans 8:13-14, I Corinthians 3:16., 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, Ephesians 4:30, 5:18).

We believe the Bible to be the divinely inspired Word of God, inerrant in its original manuscripts (II Peter 1:21).

We accept the traditional principles of Christianity, outlined in the Bible, as the standard for daily living (II Timothy 3:16).

As Christ is the cornerstone of the Church, we believe that He is also the cornerstone of the educational process (Ephesians 2:20-21).

We believe in the Biblical position that the education of children is primarily the responsibility of the parents.  Aletheia is considered to be an extension of the Christian home and a tool for enhancing the spiritual, academic, social, and physical development of its students. We welcome constructive parental involvement in our classrooms and extracurricular activities.

We value community and biblical relationships and believe that parents, teachers, and churches working together provide the best education for each individual student.

We believe that the school and its attending families must share the same educational vision for the student’s educational process to be effective.  Therefore, we are a “discipleship” school that requires at least one of the student’s parents or guardians to have made a profession of faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and attend an evangelical church.   A student in grades 7-12 may be admitted on their own statement of conversion.  They must also demonstrate life-style evidence of conversion and receive a pastoral letter of recommendation from an evangelical church.

Aletheia is a non-denominational school that is not affiliated with any particular church or denomination.  In our Bible classes and in our daily conduct, we emphasize those biblical principles that unite the body of Christ rather than those aspects of faith on which there is disagreement.  Questions regarding denominational issues such as modes of baptism, spiritual gifts, and other controversial doctrines that do not contradict our Statement of Faith are referred to the respective parents and their pastors.

We believe that genuine love and respect for one another is the best witness for Christ and provides the best atmosphere for learning.

We pursue excellence in everything we do.  (Colossians 3:23)
