The Purpose of a Christian School

“The purpose of a Christian school is to teach that the Lord Jesus Christ is to be preemi- nent in all of life, including education. That comprehensive principle underlies every aspect of academic study, each activity, and all of school life. The Bible is specific in stating about Christ. ‘For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth...and He is before all things, and by Him all things consist...that in all things He might have the preemi- nence.’ (Colossians 1:16-18). ‘For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to whom be glory forever Amen.’ (Romans 11:36) ‘All things were made by Him; and without him was not anything made that was made.’ (John 1:3)

There is a clear, critical difference between the Biblical and the secular viewpoints on a subject. Even though the facts of knowledge are identical for both, the Christian school teaches that no subject can be taught in the totality of its truth when the Creator is denied or ignored, which is the case in the secular school. Knowledge is purified by the recognition of God’s rightful place in it. The school provides a sound academic education and a wholesome activity program which are integrated with the Biblical viewpoint. This process is natural, not strained or forced.

Parents are responsible for the education of their children. During the school day teachers are in loco parentis, in the place of the parents, which makes the parents and teachers part- ners in the education of the students. Children are to be taught at home as well as at school with the consciousness that all truth is God’s truth, including history and mathematics, science, physical education, music, and the arts, and that Jesus is to be centric in all learning and living.”

STATEMENT OF FAITH

THE FUNDAMENTAL TEACHINGS OF CITY BIBLE CHURCH ARE REFLECTED IN THE FOLLOWING, CLEAR STATEMENTS:  We believe in the plenary-verbal inspiration of the accepted canon of the Scriptures as originally given and that they are infallibly and uniquely authoritative and free from error of any sort in all matters with which they deal. 1 Corinthians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:16  We believe in the Eternal God-head who has revealed Himself as ONE God existing in THREE persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; distinguishable but indivisible. Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14  We believe in the literal, special creation of the existing space-time universe and all of its basic systems as indi- cated in Genesis. Genesis 1; Nehemiah 9:6; Isaiah 42:5; John 1:3; Colossians 1:16-17  We believe in the creation, test and fall of man as recorded in Genesis; his total spiritual depravity and inability to attain to divine righteousness. Romans 5:12,18  We believe that sin is a transgressing of, or falling short of, God’s standard in action, thought, and character. All individuals are born with a sin nature that affects their motivation, affection, volition, and actions. The results of sin include separation from God, and death. Romans 3:10,23; 6:23; 14:23; James 4:17; 1 John 5:17  We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of men, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, fully God and fully man. Isaiah 7:14; 9:6; Matthew 1:21; Luke 1:26-35; John 1:18  We believe Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day, and personally appeared to His dis- ciples. Romans 4:25; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8  We believe in the bodily ascension of Jesus to heaven, His exaltation and personal, literal and bodily coming again the second time for the Church. Matthew 24; Mark 16:19; John 14:2-3; Acts 1:9-11 Philippians 2:5-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Hebrews 9:28  We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace, through repentance and faith in the perfect and sufficient work of the cross of Calvary by which we obtain remission of sins. Romans 5:11; Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 9:12,22  We believe in the necessity of water baptism by immersion in the name of the Eternal Godhead in order to fulfill the command of Christ. Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38-39; 19:1-6  We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a distinct aspect of the Christian foundational experience with the primary evidence of speaking in tongues as well as evidences such as empowerment to witness, to conquer sin and to live a holy life. Acts 2:1-4; 8:14-17; 19:6  We believe in the Spirit-filled life, a life of separation from the world and the perfecting of holiness in the fear of God as an expression of Christian faith. 2 Corinthians 6:14; 7:1; Galatians 5:16-26; Ephesians 5:18  We believe that since the Bible is the inspired Word of God, it is then authoritative in all areas of human behavior, including marriage, family, sexuality, morality, and ethics.  We believe that the Bible defines marriage as the covenant relationship between a man and a woman. The impor- tance of this union to society requires that we support and protect marriage as the Word of God does.  We believe in the operation of the gifts of the Spirit as manifested in the Early Church and enumerated in 1 Co- rinthians 12-14.  We believe in the healing of the body by Divine Power, or Divine healing in its varied aspects as practiced in the Early Church.  We believe in the Table of the Lord, commonly called Communion or the Lord’s Supper, for believers.  We believe in eternal life for believers (John 3:16; 5:24) and eternal punishment for unbelievers.  We believe in the reality and personality of Satan and eternal judgment of Satan and his angels.

CITY CHRISTIAN SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENT

5. If the student has met or is making substantial progress towards meeting their behavior and academic goals, the students will be removed from probation.

6. If the student has not meet their goals or is not making substantial progress, then the Student Support Team will make a formal recommenddation to the CCS Principal requesting the student be dismissed immediately, or at the semester break from CCS.

Out of School Suspension

Some behavior will automatically trigger an out of school suspension. CCS typically assigns 1,2, or 3 day out of school suspensions depending on the severity of the behavior.

Out of School Suspension Pending Expulsion Hearing

Certain types of behavior require an out of school suspension plus a meeting (expulsion hearing) to determine if the student is to be dismissed from CCS. These types of behaviors typically are illegal or represent a serious violation from the CCS Student Honor Commitment.

UNIFORM INFORMATION & GUIDE

MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL 2018-2019

29 A Word from The Principal

Presenting a positive Christian testimony is a goal that each of us should strive to maintain. Dress is very important, as it often establishes the first impression we make. Our school is partially judged by the impression of those who observe us. We continue with the uniform guidelines as they have been in previous years due to an over- whelming number of parents that reaffirm their desire to maintain a school uniform policy.

There are three basic reasons the parents give for this choice. First, it minimizes the amount of peer pressure that their children have to deal with. Second, it reduces the financial strain on their budget. And third, it simplifies their job of determining what meets our school dress code.

In keeping with this decision, we request that you review the guidelines closely.

Classes will occasionally observe a “casual day” where the students are allowed to dress “out-of-uniform” contin- gent upon meeting qualifications and adherence to the out of uniform dress standards as stated in this uniform book. Thank you for helping us take pride in the appearance of our school. We are anticipating an awesome year.

In Christ,

Lynden Evans
