Vision Statement and Statement of Faith:
VISION:
When students leave Providence Christian Academy to pursue their next level of education they will be:

Academically prepared: having grown in wisdom, knowledge and understanding

Socially responsible: understanding their relationship to the immediate community in which they live and the world at large, striving to love their neighbor as themselves, and

Biblically rooted: viewing their life and the world from God’s perspective.

STATEMENT OF FAITH:
We believe:

The Bible to be the inspired Word of God

In only one God, existing in three persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit

In the deity of Christ, His virgin birth and His sinless life

In the miracles of Christ and His atoning death through His shed blood

In the resurrection of Christ and His ascension to the right hand of the Father

In the Lordship of Christ over all life and His future return

In the spiritual unity of all believers in Christ

Providence Christian Academy was established in 1990 by a group of parents and educators seeking academic excellence

in a Christ centered environment.
"The Christian school is a place that can be intentional about teaching students to fulfill Christ’s two great commandments of loving God and loving their neighbor. This is a core distinctive that separates biblical education from its secular counterpart…" Daniel J. Egeler, EdD
