Our Philosophy
Cumberland Christian Academy is an independent Christian school founded on the truth that the ultimate goal of all creation is to bring glory and honor to the triune God of the universe. The Holy Scripture says, “For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever! Amen.” (Romans 11:36) This verse teaches that since God is the source and accomplisher, the goal of all created things is His glory. Therefore, mankind’s and CCA’s ultimate purpose is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. (Genesis 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 10:31)
We glorify God by obeying His Word. The Bible teaches that man was created in God’s own image and commanded to occupy the earth and have dominion over it. (Genesis 1:27-28) However, when Adam and Eve chose to sin, they destroyed their relationship with God and their ability to think and act as God intended. We inherit a sinful heart from Adam. (1 Corinthians 15:21-22)
God provided a solution by sending His son, Jesus Christ, to earth to die for mankind’s sins. By repenting and placing our faith in Him, we can be saved from judgment, cleansed from sin, and restored to a right relationship with God. Now, guided by His Word and filled with the Holy Spirit, we can properly relate to God and manage the earth as He intended. The purpose of Christian education is to impart these and similar truths so that every student knows the reality of who they are and God’s plan for what they are to become. (1 John 4:14, 1:7; John 3:16; Ephesians 5:18)
Cumberland Christian Academy is a Christian educational ministry with full authority to minister the gospel, conduct missions, conduct worship services, and minister the historic sacraments of the faith under the direction of its elders (The Board, Head of School, Executive Director) and its deacons (The Leadership Team). The school exists, within the context of its mission and purpose statements, to support Christian families and activate students to be vital participants in other gospel ministries, especially local churches.
Because of our Christian ministry philosophy, CCA’s overarching goals are to nurture and challenge students to:
-
know Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord (John 17:3)
-
adopt a biblical worldview (Psalm 111:10)
-
love one another as themselves (Matthew 22:37-39)
-
achieve academic excellence (Colossians 3:23)
-
grow into Christ-likeness as they mature spiritually, emotionally, socially, and physically (Luke 2:52)
-
evangelize and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19-20)
In order that they may bring glory to God by serving our Lord and others through their character, spiritual integrity, and leadership (1 Corinthians 10:31).
