Statement of faith
LCA is a Christ-centered evangelical private Christian school that believes:
Scripture
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:21).
Salvation
Salvation is a free gift of God that is received by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and is for all who believe. Our ultimate goal is to provide opportunities for the student to confess Christ as Savior and Lord (Romans 10:9-10)
God, the Father
We believe there is one God, the Creator of heaven and earth, eternally existent in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1, Matthew 28:19, John 10:30).
Jesus Christ
We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son (John 3:16), in the deity of Christ (John 10:30,33), His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:35), His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15, Hebrews 7:26), His miracles (John 2:11), His vicarious and atoning death (1 Corinthians 15:3, Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 2:9, 10:10), His resurrection on the third day (John 11:25, 1 Corinthians 15:4), His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19), and His personal return in power and glory (Acts 1:11, Revelation 19:11).
Holy Spirit
We believe in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature; and that men are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ and that only by God’s grace and through faith alone we are saved (John 3:16-19, John 5:24; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:8–9; Ephesians 2:8–10; Titus 3:5).
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost—the saved unto the resurrection of life and the lost unto the resurrection of condemnation (John 5:28–29); in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9, 1 Corinthians 12:12–13, Galatians 3:26–28); and in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a godly life (1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19–20, Romans 8:13–14, Ephesians 4:30, 5:18).

Worldview
We believe in the Christian perspective on the total worldview. The spiritual must permeate all areas. We help the student develop a Christian worldview by integrating life, and all studies, with the Bible. (Colossians 1:15-17; 2 Peter 1:3)
Evangelism
We believe there is nothing more important than encouraging people to respond to the gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe the ultimate purpose in living is to know and glorify God and to attain eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, beginning within our own school families and then reaching beyond to the rest of the world that does not know of His love and sacrifice. (Matthew 28:18-2, Acts 1:8)
MARRIAGE AND SEXUALITY
We believe that marriage is the union of one man and one woman, as defined in Scripture (Genesis 2:18–25), and that God intends sexual intimacy only within this marriage (1 Corinthians 6:18, 7:2–5; Hebrews 13:4). We affirm that God created each person as male or female in accordance with their biological sex, and that these two distinct, complementary genders reflect His image and nature (Genesis 1:26–27).
