Our Statement of Faith

Our Mission

San Jose Christian School is dedicated to training young people for Christian life and service by offering a balanced program that reflects Biblical standards. The entire curriculum recognizes that Christ is Lord of all creation.

The primary purpose of San Jose Christian School is to provide a Christ centered education for children of Christian parents.

An additional purpose of our school is to testify to students and parents that God's Word is Truth and all creation belongs to Him.

Our Statement of Faith

San Jose Christian School was founded by believers from area Reformed Churches, for the purpose of educating their children for Christian Life and service. The Board of Directors and Staff of San Jose Christian School hold to the following Statement of Faith:

The Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God and is the ultimate source of truth and authority in all matters of our faith and life.

There is only one God, who is eternal and all-powerful, the Sovereign God of heaven and earth. He created the universe and everything in it and maintains sovereign control over all things.He exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

God created man, both male and female, in His image. This is what separates us from the animals and all other forms of life. However, our forefather Adam disobeyed God and, as our representative, brought sin and death to the entire human race. The result is that all humans are born sinful, are unable, on their own to please God, and deserve death and eternal punishment. This means that every person needs renewal and restoration. We are in need of God’s grace.

Jesus Christ came to renew and restore. He is true God and true man who died on the cross for our sins. All whom God called to believe in Him and repent have the forgiveness of sins and new life. This is possible because Jesus Himself was raised from the dead. He ascended into heaven where He now rules as Lord. He will return to make all things new, judging all that have ever lived.

God has commanded believers to train their children in this faith and to recognize the Lordship of Jesus Christ in all areas of their lives. This is best accomplished when parents use three God-given agencies: the Christian home, the Christian school, and the Christian church.
