HISTORY

Southwest Christian School is a private Christian school for students, kindergarten through 12th grade. As a ministry of Southwest Bible Church, our School exists to provide parents with a source of quality education based on Biblical principles, taught by Christian teachers. Southwest also has a preschool program for children who are 3 and 4 years old.

Since its inception in 1973, Southwest Christian School has consistently offered Christian parents the best possible training for the total development of their children, with the goal of seeing each student attain his maximum potential academically, socially, and spiritually. Throughout the years, God has honored this commitment by consistently producing students whose lives reflect the fruit of Christian training.

CURRICULUM

Our curriculum draws from a variety of publishers (ACSI, Abeka, BJU Press, as well as Pearson and Houghton/Mifflin in secondary subjects). We continually review our texts and tools to ensure that our students receive a cohesive learning experience that is academically excellent and taught from a biblical worldview that recognizes God as our creator, savior, and sustainer. Graduates of Southwest Christian School have consistently demonstrated competency at the university level for over forty years.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

We proclaim Christ, counseling and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone complete in Christ.

Colossians 1:28

  1. We believe in One God existing in three Persons--Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Jer. 10:10; Deut. 6:4; Isa. 44:6; Matt. 28:18-20; John 14:16; II Cor. 13:14. The Father sent the Son, I John 4:9, 10, 14; the Son came as the willing sacrifice for sins, Heb. 10:5-10; and the Holy Spirit was the means through which the Son offered Himself, Heb. 9:14.

  2. We believe the person of Jesus Christ is both true God and true man, John 1:1-4; Gal. 4:4. His death on the cross was sacrificial and substitutionary, Heb. 9:22-28; I Peter 2:24; 3:18; Romans 5:6-8; Gal. 1:4. His resurrection from among the dead was literal, I Cor. 15:3-7; Luke 24:1-8. He bodily ascended into heaven, Luke 24:50; Acts 1:9-11. He is presently and continuously interceding for us at the right hand of the Father, Mark 16:19; Heb. 7:25; 9:24. His personal coming is imminent, John 14:3; Acts 1:11; I Cor. 15:51,52; I Thess. 4:14-18. He will personally return to the earth and set up His kingdom, Acts 2:29-36; Isa. 11:1-16.

  3. We believe in the presence and power of the Holy Spirit who alone reveals Jesus Christ through the Word of God, convicting and converting sinners and comforting and instructing saints, Acts 1:8; John 16:7-11; 14:17, 19, 26, 27; 15:26; Romans 15:13; John 3:5,6.

  4. We believe in the verbal plenary inspiration of the Bible, II Tim. 3:16,17; II Peter 1:19-21. We believe that the Bible is God's message to man, disclosing the way of salvation, Rom. 1:16; and that it is a sufficient rule of life for the saved, II Tim. 3:16,17; I Cor. 15:1,2.

  5. We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit, and thereby become the children of God, John 1:12, 13; 3:14-18; Acts 13:38,39; Rom. 5:1; Eph. 2:2-10; II Tim. 1:12; I John 5:11-13. This same group of people are called the saved, Rom. 10:9; Titus 3:5; which designation indicates their eternal preservation and everlasting blessedness. We further believe those who are not saved are lost and doomed to everlasting and conscious punishment, Mark 9:43-48; Rev. 20:15; Job 21:30.
