Why Remarkable?

God has revealed all that we as Christians need for a life committed to Jesus in His perfect and Holy Word. We hold the 66 books of the Bible as authoritative and relevant to our lives and the lives of our students. We teach biblical truth both explicitly and implicitly across all divisions and disciplines and believe that seeing the world through the lens of a biblical worldview is the only way to understand it.

At Fellowship, we believe it is our responsibility to steward all our resources well. We steward physical and financial resources, the hearts and minds entrusted to us, as well as opportunities and relationships.

Foundational to our belief as Christians and educators is relationship. The God of the Bible is a relational God as is evidenced in His Trinitarian nature (an example of perfect community) and in the person and work of Jesus Christ. As educators, we know that the best and most impactful teaching happens within the context of relationships.

We know God has a purpose for everything He created and every story He has written. Because of His intentionality, we believe it is our responsibility to be like Him in that way. Whether it is the curriculum we choose, the employee we hire, the program we develop, the space we build, or the furniture we put in it, we believe we need a reason to make that decision.

We believe that we are called by God to imitate Jesus and those who imitate Him. That begins with character. If our vision for our students is for them to be Godly men and women, then that starts with their being inspired to impeccable character... character like Christ’s.

Biblical Statement on Marriage 
The Bible defines marriage as a sacramental covenant between one man and one woman; God-designed human sexuality is expressed and affirmed within a monogamous, heterosexual marriage. (Genesis 2: 23-24; Romans 1:26-27; I Corinthians 6: 9-10; Colossians 3: 5-7)

Biblical Statement on Identity 
Christians are compelled by Scripture to believe that God creates life in the womb of a mother at conception and that life, being divinely ordained, is sacred, should be protected and preserved. The Bible also affirms that the sexual nature and identity of a person is determined by God at conception and not to be confused or changed by man’s will. (Genesis 1:27; Psalms 22: 9-10; Psalms 139:13-16; Galatians 1:15)

Biblical Statement on Behavior 
God’s Word clearly identifies sinful behaviors and practices. Students, faculty, and staff are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that reflects God’s character, attributes, and commands. Any habitual or pattern of behavior or activity that is contrary to God’s directives and/or principles may result in student dismissal or severing of employment. These behaviors include, but are not limited to theft, lying, cheating, plagiarism, slander, profanity, vulgarity, sexual activities outside the biblical definition of marriage (including but not limited to homosexuality, extra-marital sexuality, and cohabitation), pornography, drunkenness, immodesty, occult practices, and heresies. (Galatians 5:19-21; I Corinthians 6:9-11)
