Our History

Grace Baptist Academy was founded in 1973 as a ministry of Grace Baptist Church.  As the school has maintained the goal of providing quality Christian education, the Lord has blessed in many areas.  Realizing God has given authority and power to the Christian home to train successful young people, it is the goal of Grace Baptist Academy to assist the home in the training process.

Our faculty is well qualified, both spiritually and academically.  Each one has been carefully selected and prayerfully chosen by the administration.  Realizing that apart from divine leadership and wisdom it would not be possible to attain our goals, we request your daily prayers.

Statement of Faith of Grace Baptist Academy

Grace Baptist Academy is a ministry of Grace Baptist Church and thus maintains the same doctrinal position as set forth in the constitution of Grace Baptist Church.  The following briefly describes our position:

We believe that the Bible is God’s Word, that it was written by men divinely inspired, and that it is the supreme infallible authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

We believe in God the Father, perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom and measureless in power.  We rejoice that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayer and that He saves from sin and death all that come to Him through Jesus Christ.

            We believe in Jesus Christ, the eternal and only begotten Son of God, conceived of the Holy Spirit, of virgin birth, sinless in His life, making atonement for the sins of the world by His death.  We believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension and His visible, pre-millennial return to the world according to His promise.

            We believe in the Holy Spirit who came forth from God to convince the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify, and comfort those who believe in Jesus Christ.

            We believe that all men by nature and by choice are sinners but that “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”  We believe, therefore, that those who accept Christ as Lord and Savior will rejoice forever in God’s presence and that those who refuse to accept Christ as Lord and Savior will be forever separated from God.

            We believe in the Church – a living spiritual body of which Christ is the head and of which all regenerated people are members.  We believe that a visible local church is a company of believers in Jesus Christ, immersed on a credible confession of faith, and associated for worship, work and fellowship.  We believe that to these local churches were committed, for perpetual observance, the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper, and that God has laid upon these churches the task of proclaiming to a lost world the acceptance of Jesus Christ as Savior and the enthroning of Him as Lord and Master.  We believe that all human betterment and social improvements are the inevitable by-products of such a Gospel.

We believe that every human being is responsible to God alone in all matters of faith; that each church is independent and autonomous and must be free from interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority; therefore, church and state must be kept separate as having different functions, each fulfilling its duties free from the dictation or patronage of the other.
