Mission
New Hope Christian School exists to come along side of and assist the family and Church by providing a Christ-centered education, equipping students with a Biblical worldview and by training them to be Christ-like leaders through the encouragement of a love relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
Statement of Faith
- We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:21)
- We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son & Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1, Matthew 28:19, John 10:30)
- We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. (John 10:33), (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:35), (Hebrews 4:15, Hebrews 7:26), ( John 2:11), (I Corinthians 15:3-4, Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 2:9), (John 11:25, I Corinthians 15:4), (Mark 16:19), (Acts 1:11, Revelation 19:11)
- We believe that for the salvation of the lost and sinful men regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. (John 3:16-19, John 5:24, Romans 3:23, Romans 5:8-9, Ephesians 2:8-10, 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 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 2:12-13, Galatians 3:26-28 Philippians 2:1-2)
- We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female, and that these two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. (Genesis 1:26-27, Mark 10:6)
- We believe in God’s design for marriage as being between one man and one woman. (Genesis 1:26-27, Genesis 2:18-25, Romans 1:21-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10;18, 1 Corinthians 7:2-5, Hebrews 13:4, Matthew 15:18-20)
- We believe in the sanctity of human life. (Psalms 139:14-16)
Philosophy of Education
- New Hope Christian School partners with families in their calling to train up their children in the way of the Lord. We equip students in a Biblical worldview by learning about God’s world through the light of God’s Word, so in return, they can go out into the world and become transforming influences for God’s Kingdom.
- New Hope Christian School is not meant to take the place of the Family Unit nor the Church or bear the full responsibility of educating the student in all aspects of the Christ centered life but rather the encouragement, assistance, and protection of the student through the highly impressionable years of education from the surrounding societal degradation.
- New Hope Christian School believes that a good Christian education is a foundation for children’s beliefs, faith, and resistance to peer pressure from an ungodly/immoral world.
Purpose
- New Hope Christian School exists for a two-fold purpose:
- First, we believe that God needs to be the center of all learning. Only a Bible-centered, God honoring interpretation will bring future generations to the allegiance of God.
- Second, the school is dedicated to the task of challenging children to a total commitment to the Lord and to Hisright to direct their lives. Together with this commitment comes the realization that God’s total program is worldwide evangelism. All of the studies and activities of New Hope Christian School are geared to this end.
