28 Years of Integrating Faith & Knowledge

Mission
To effectively prepare students for life by integrating faith and knowledge

Statement of Purpose
Hillsdale Christian School was established by its founders to make available a school which would work in harmony with the home and church in educating young people in all areas of life–spiritual, intellectual, social and physical.

Statement of Faith
We believe …

• in one God, existing eternally in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Gen.1:1, Matt 28:190, John 10:30);
• that the Bible is the inspired word of God, without error in the original manuscript, and is the perfect standard for faith and practice (2 Tim 3:15, 2 Peter 1:21);
• in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ and His Deity (Isa 7:14, Matt 1:23), His sinless life (Heb 4:15, 7, 26 & John 10:30), His crucifixion (1Cor 15:3, Eph 1:7), His bodily resurrection (John 11:35, 1Cor 15:4), His ascension to the Father where He is now in the presence of God acting as our intercessor (Mark 16:19);
• that man was created in the image of God by the direct will of God (Gen 1:26, 28, Gen 5:1-2);
• that because of the fall of Adam, all men are born in sin and in need of a Savior (Rom 3:23, John 3:16-19);
• that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son who shed His blood on the cross in atonement for our sins & our eternal salvation (Eph 2:8-10, Rom 5:8, 9);
• that the indwelling of the Holy Spirit enables us to live a Godly life (1 Cor 6:19-20, Rom 8:13-14);
• in the resurrection of the dead, the just to eternal joy with Christ, the unjust to eternal punishment in Hell (John 5:28-29, Rev 19:11);
• in the personal return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ (Acts 1:11, Rev 19:11).

Vision
Hillsdale Christian School students will acquire wisdom, knowledge, and a biblical world-view as evidenced by a lifestyle of character, leadership, service, stewardship, and worship. Specifically, the young men and women who are products of Hillsdale Christian School will mature to loving God with all their heart, soul and mind (Matthew 22:37) - growing in wisdom and stature (Luke 2:52); being willing to stand apart from the world as “salt and light” (Matthew 5:13-14); and giving sacrificially of themselves and their resources, thus reflecting the essence and love of the Christ who lives and dwells within them (Romans 12:1).

Philosophy
The philosophy of Hillsdale Christian School is based on a God-centered view that all truth is God’s truth and that the Bible is the inspired and only infallible, authoritative Word of God containing this truth. As an educational institution, Hillsdale Christian School believes bringing up a child in Christ-likeness is primarily the responsibility and biblical duty of the parent. Our school exists, therefore, to assist in that education, working together with the family and the church. The curriculum of Hillsdale Christian School arises from our philosophy that places God, not man, in the center of all things. (Colossians 2:3, Proverbs 1:7)
