Mount Paran Christian School is a nondenominational, covenantal school that is unapologetically Christian in its mission, vision, and programs. All staff, students, and parents sign the following Statement of Faith identifying their shared commitment to the Christ-centered purpose of MPCS:

• We believe that the Holy Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative source of Christian doctrine and precept.
• We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons:
  Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
• We believe that man was created in the image of God, but as a result of sin is lost and powerless to save himself.
• We believe that the only hope for man is to believe in Jesus Christ, the virgin-born Son of God, who died to take upon himself the punishment for the sin of mankind and who rose from the dead, so that by receiving him as Savior and Lord, man is redeemed by His blood.
• We believe that Jesus Christ, in person, will return to earth in power and glory.
• We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells those who have received Christ for the purpose of enabling them to live righteous and godly lives.
• We believe that the Church is the Body of Christ and is composed of all who, through belief in Christ, have been spiritually regenerated by the indwelling Holy Spirit. It is the responsibility of the church to nurture Christians and to spread the Word of Jesus Christ worldwide.

Mount Paran Christian School is firmly committed to its institutional mission, which identifies MPCS as a Christ-centered community focused on academic excellence, partnerships with home and church, and servant-leadership development. Since the founding of the school in 1976, those core beliefs have formed the foundational truths from which it operates as an educational ministry.

As a Christian community, Mount Paran Christian School distinguishes itself by its covenantal commitments with participating families and staff members and by its dedication to fostering those ideals and standards that are consistent with a biblical worldview. In addition to the Statement of Faith, which recognizes foundational, theological truths, this document is an attempt to identify Christian ideals and standards as they relate to those who serve as ministers, which includes all staff members, within our community.

The desire to be a God-honoring community requires mutual understandings, and neither the difficulty of the task nor the imperfection of the end result should deter us from establishing reasonable and viable expectations of community participants. It is the aim of Mount Paran Christian School to promote Christian freedom without becoming libertine and to promote responsibility without becoming legalistic. The following statement of life and conduct adheres to our long-held intentions to, in the words of Lutheran theologian Meldenius, provide an ethos that promotes, "In the essentials unity, in nonessentials diversity, and in all things charity."

Mount Paran Christian School is dedicated to maintaining its identity as a Christian academic community of faculty and staff. Therefore, the school expects that all faculty and staff will adhere to the following:

• Identify themselves as Christians by virtue of the grace of God and their personal commitment to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
• Recognize the Bible to be God's inspired, infallible, and authoritative source of Christian doctrine and precepts.
• Possess a desire to grow in both knowledge and behavior as a result of a commitment to the work of the Trinity in our lives.
• Commit to regular participation in the ministry of a local church, personal faith disciplines, and ministry.
• Accept the work at Mount Paran Christian School as a personal calling and identify themselves as ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
• Understand they have become part of a non-denominational, orthodox Christian community, in which unity is to be sought while diversity within orthodoxy is to be respected…
