Mission, Vision & Our Beliefs
New Hope Christian School is an outreach arm of
We are passionate about knowing God and making Him known to the children and families He sends to us.
MISSION
→ To share the good news of Jesus.
The best news mankind has every heard is that God became man and entered space and time to redeem us from our sins and reconcile us with His holiness. It is our passion to share this good news with every student and parent in our school community.
→ To provide a Christian education for your children.
NHCS is dedicated to providing developmentally appropriate, Christian education to students from preschool through twelfth grade. Although we use age-appropriate curricula, we ground everything we teach in the Word of God, which is the source of all true wisdom.
→ To model and teach the love of Christ.
Jesus insisted that His followers love each other…
“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” John 15:12
At NHCS we try our best to model His love and teach the importance of loving each other to your children.
VISION
→ To impact our community by teaching God’s commands.
We believe God’s commands are not just negative restrictions to our freedom, but the guidelines to living a happy and fulfilled life. Therefore, we desire to impact our children and parents, (and through them the entire community) by teaching and modeling these guidelines and commandments. There are a multitude of pitfalls waiting for your children as they grow up and we hope to instill in them a foundational walk with Christ that will guide them through the trials they will face.
→ To impact our community by modeling the love of Christ.
But Jesus did not just come to tell us the Words of God– He came to model the love of God to a world starved for compassion. He did not just establish His commandments, He showed us how to love each other and help each other in times of trouble. At NHCS, we are passionate about teaching your children the love of Christ. This includes both the way Jesus loves them, and how they should love each other. We believe there is no greater way to impact our community for good than teaching the compassion of our Lord.
OUR BELIEFES
New Hope Christian School is a private Christian school. Therefore, our beliefs are grounded in the Christian faith and are evident in all aspects of our school and curriculum. We are a ministry of New Hope Community Church.
→ The inerrancy of Scripture.
We believe the Scriptures, (the Holy Bible) are the inerrant and infallible Word of God, and therefore the revelation of His will for mankind. So Scripture is paramount in all we will teach your children.
→ Salvation is by grace alone.
We believe we are saved by grace alone. This means that even though we are undeserving of salvation, God in His infinite love and mercy has seen fit to bless us His grace and redeem us, to forgive our sins and to reconcile us into an eternal relationship with Him. We believe this incredible salvation is a free gift from God and does not depend in any way on our own merit.
→ Salvation is through faith alone.
We believe we receive this gift throught faith alone. It is not faith, plus our own good works, it is not faith plus anything, but faith alone that leads us to an understanding of God’s plan for our lives and His salvation of our souls.
→ Salvation is in Christ alone.
We believe that Jesus alone provides the way to salvation. Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” It was Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross that atoned for the sins of all those who put their trust in Him and reconciled them with a perfect and holy God.
→ The Sovereignty of God.
We believe all glory belongs to God. The Reformed faith places the strongest emphasis on God’s Providence and His work in the history of His Creation. We believe that only God is sovereign and therefore only God is deserving of glory.
→ The Love of God.
If we live for a thousand eons, we will never begin to plumb the depths of God’s love for us. Such love is indescribable and unfathomable. The kind of love that would love the unloveable and redeem those who do not deserve to be redeemed.
→ The Holiness of God
As stated above, we believe God is love. We also believe that God is holy. This means He is separate and far above His Creation. His thoughts are not our thoughts, nor His ways our ways. He is omipotent, omniscient, eternal and infinite. His holiness means He is infinite in His perfection and righteousness. Even though God is infinite in His love, He is also infinite in His holiness. And because He is infinite in His justness He must punish sin.
We root our mission and vision in Scripture, seeking wisdom, truth, and direction from God’s Word in every aspect of life.
