Statement Of Faith

We humbly and joyfully give thanks for the privilege and responsibility of providing a comprehensive and rigorous liberal arts education, taught in the classical method, to the students of Wing Classical Academy. This education is imparted using traditional American values, underpinned by Christian principles, in a Christian environment. All our staff, teachers, board members, and families affirm our statement of faith.

The Holy Trinity:

We believe in one True God, who is all-gracious, all-loving, all-knowing, and all-powerful, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:26, Acts 7:54-60, John 1:1)

Creation and Man:

We believe that God, in His perfect love, created the heavens, the earth, and all things within it through Jesus Christ. He is the author, creator, and sustainer of all that exists. All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Him. (Col1:16)(Heb1:3)(John1:1-3)

We believe that in His perfect wisdom, God created man in His image as related in the account of Creation in the first two chapters of Genesis. (Genesis 1:26 and 27, Psalm 139:13)

Salvation:

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior through His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His atoning death, His defeat of Satan and hell, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and we look forward to His personal return in power and glory bringing all of His followers into perfect relationship with Him and each other.

We believe we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. (Eph 2:8)

We believe in the indwelling of the Holy Spirit for all who have accepted Jesus’ gift of His atoning death and have received Him as Lord. The Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, heirs of the perfect kingdom to come. He intercedes for us, aids us in our weakness, teaches us to pray, and reveals the hidden truths found in the Bible.

The Bible:

We believe the Bible is alive and active, the only inerrant, authoritative Word of God. It is God-breathed, a divinely inspired gift from God to reveal His character and His desire to have a relationship with the people He created.  (II Timothy 3:16)

We believe the Bible is profitable for “teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.” (II Tim. 3:15, 16) (Heb. 4:12)

Sex:

We believe each person is created in God’s image. Our bodies, created male and female, are part of God's intentional design in creation and are, therefore, imbued with meaning and purpose. (Gen 1:26-27) As stewards of these gifts, we are called to accept, love, and care for our bodies as they were created. Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God in that person.

Service:

We believe we are called to joyfully embrace God’s greatest commandment: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. This is the first and greatest commandment. The second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ " (Mat. 37-39) 

Service is the fruit of faith in Jesus Christ. Our works do not save us but are a reflection of the Holy Spirit’s work in our lives. As such, we respect each other as made in the image of God. We treat and serve one another joyfully as we reflect the Father’s love.

Reflection of God’s Love:

We believe that we reflect God’s love for us through our love and good works for others and we demonstrate our faith through worship.

All faculty, staff, and parents who make up the community of Wing Classical Academy accept and affirm these truths as outlining the boundaries of true Christian unity while respecting theological diversity on issues such as the age of the earth, charismatic gifts, the mode of baptism, and events of the end times. In all things we teach and encourage students to search and submit themselves to the teaching of Scripture, to the authority of their parents and pastors, to form strong, Biblically informed convictions on theological issues, and to hold those convictions graciously with others. As a matter of firm policy, it is mandatory that at least one parent or legal guardian, agree with and abide by the above Statement of Faith.

This statement of faith does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs. The Bible, as the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe. For purposes of school doctrine, practice, policy, and discipline, our Board serves as the school’s final interpretive authority on the Bible’s meaning and application.
