Mission
The mission of Temple Christian Academy is to give the Christian parent an opportunity to obey the commands of Scripture, “Train up a child in the way he should go…” and “…bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.”(Prov. 22:6; Eph. 6:4) We exist as an extension of the Christian home in our society so that the Christian parent will not violate the Scripture which says, “Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.” (Prov. 19:27); and “Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen,…”(Jere. 10:2). There is no way for the Christian, who is responsible for his children’s education, to obey the Scriptures apart from a Christian education, i.e., every subject taught according to the principles of and within the framework of the Word of God. “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge…” (Proverbs 1:7
