Faith Academy

Faith Academy has been offering Christian education to the Austin County area since the fall of 1994.



MISSION
Faith Academy is to be a place of encouragement and excellence in academic and character training where the Light of the World, Jesus Christ, lives in and enlightens those who teach and learn.


PHILOSOPHY
The educational philosophy of Faith Academy is based on a God-centered view of truth and man as presented in the Bible. The purpose of the school is to raise up Jesus Christ as the standard of excellence in education and the student's identity in Christ as the foundaion of his spiritual, mental, physical, and social development. The authority for such an education comes both from God's command and from the fact that parents are responsible for the total education and training of their children. At the parent's request, Faith Academy becomes a partner in giving this education.


HISTORY
Faith Academy began as an idea from a committee in 1993. Classes began for the first time in the fall of 1994 with nine students in Kindergarten through 5th Grade. Grades were added as the years progressed, and in May 2003 Faith Academy had its first group of Seniors. Including that year, 59 students have graduated from Faith Academy.


AFFILIATIONS
Faith Academy is an evangelical interdenominational school. It is not aligned with or supported by a particular church or denomination. It is a member of Association of Christian Schools Interational and is fully accredited with the Texas Alliance of Accredited Private Schools.


STATEMENT OF FAITH
We believe in the Bible as the inspired Word of God, fully trustworthy, and inerrant in the original writing; and that it is the supreme and final authority (II Timothy 3:16-17)

We believe that there is one God and creator, externally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1; John 10:30; John 1:1-5, 14-18)

We believe in the diety of God's only begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in His Virgin Birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His atoning death on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension, and in His personal return in power and glory. (Luke 1:35; Colossians 1:15-23; Hebrews 1:1-14; Acts 1:9-11, 2:22-24)

We believe in the forgiveness of sins and the salvation of lost and sinful man, by grace through faith in the Gospel, regenerated by the Holy Spirit and the Spirit-filled life. (Romans 10:9-10; Titus 3:5-7; John 14:16-26; Galatians 2:20; John 20:30-31)

We believe in heaven and hell and in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost. They that are saved unto the resurrection of life eternal, and they that are lost unto everlasting, conscious punishment. (I Corinthians 15:1-58; John 14:1-6; Revelation 20:11-15, 21:1-8)

We belive in the importance and urgency of sharing the Gospel with all mankind. (John 3:1-21; Matthew 28:18-20; John 10:10; Acts 1:8)
