Statement of Faith
At Rise Academy, we believe that all true knowledge begins with God. Our goal is to help children grow in wisdom, character, and truth by learning in light of Scripture. As a Christ-centered homeschool program, we joyfully affirm the following:
God
We believe in one true, living God—eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—who created the heavens and the earth and continues to sustain all things by His power and wisdom. He is holy, loving, all-knowing, all-powerful, and unchanging.
Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God—fully God and fully man. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died on the cross for our sins, rose bodily from the grave, ascended to heaven, and will one day return in glory. He is the only Savior and the only way to eternal life.
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit lives in every believer—bringing conviction of sin, giving comfort, guidance, and strength, and enabling believers to live a godly life that brings glory to God.
The Bible
We believe the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God, fully trustworthy and our final authority in all matters of faith, life, and education.
Salvation
We believe that salvation is a gift from God, given by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone—not earned by good works. All who believe in Him are forgiven, made new, and adopted into God’s family. A true faith bears the fruit of a transformed life.
The Church
We believe in the global body of believers united in Christ. As His people, we are called to love one another, build each other up in faith, and share the good news of salvation with the world.
Human Life
We believe all human life is sacred and created by God in His image—from the unborn to the elderly, and in every stage and condition. Each life has God-given worth and is to be protected and cherished.
Marriage and Gender
We believe that all people are made in the image of God, with inherent value and purpose. God created humanity as male and female—distinct, complementary, and unchangeable. These two sexes are good gifts from God and part of His perfect design for individuals, families, and society. We affirm the sanctity of marriage as a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman.
The Family and Education
We believe God has entrusted parents with the primary responsibility of raising and discipling their children in the knowledge and love of the Lord. We view education as a form of discipleship—shaping the heart, soul, mind, and character of each child through truth, beauty, and virtue, all in the light of God’s Word.
