We believe that God created children and that they are "the heritage of the Lord" (Psalm 127:3). God gave children to parents who are responsible to train them to become adults who will bring glory, not shame to Him.

 

The first place for training is the home. The second place is the church. Our church school is doing what God commanded us - train children in His Word. Liberty Baptist Academy is not a reform school, although many lives are reformed during a school year.

 

The Bible, God's Word, is the heart of all our instruction at Liberty. Therefore, believing that the Bible teaches separation, both from the world and unto Christ, all those connected with the school should live accordingly. Being separated from the world, there are some things that we believe should not be in the Christian's life, such as smoking, drinking, taking drugs, listening to immoral entertainment - whether on TV or at the movies-, listening to rock music - whether secular or Christian, or any other activity that would bring dishonor to Christ or His church.

 

A person who is separated unto Christ means that certain things should be true of that person. They should be including in their life such things as Bible reading, Bible memorization, prayer, church attendance, and witnessing. Their lives should be exhibiting the attitudes of Christ.

Our goal is not just to train students academically. We believe it is our duty as an extension of the home, to teach, to train, and to prepare young people for a life of service to the Lord in a free country regardless of the vocation and location into which the Lord may lead them as adults.

 

God blessed our nation and we should be proud of its noble Christian heritage. To teach love for country cannot be wrong in the sight of God!  We shall, therefore, teach patriotism in the school with a daily pledge to the United States Flag. Self-government and self-government with union shall be taught to all students in the school. At Liberty we shall honor God, country, our American Flag, Christian Flag, and pay tribute to the great Americans who gave unselfishly to build this nation "under God" and under God's Word.
