HISTORY OF HCA

In 1998, a group of parents intimately understood it would take a great leap of faith in the establishment of a non-denominational, Christ-centered school in Stevens County, Kansas.  Since that time, Heritage Christian Academy has – through the strength of the Lord – been working to impact the children of this community for Christ.

In 2005, we moved from using the facilities at the Assembly of God church to our own building.  The Lord has blessed HCA with outstanding and gifted teachers, wonderful support staff and a leadership who truly understand God alone owns and is in control of this ministry.

OUR MISSION

To produce Christian leaders by
transforming the hearts and
​minds of students through
superior academics,
a scriptural worldview,
​and a sustained relationship
​with Jesus Christ.

OUR VISION

Our vision is to transform the hearts and minds of our students through:    
  • Superior Academics.  We want to create success-bound Christian leaders who follow God, influence peers in a positive way, and strive to be superior students.
  • A Scriptural Worldview.   We want our students to recognize God as our sole provider, believe God created our universe, and view history as “His Story”.
  • A Sustained Relationship with Jesus Christ.   We want our students to have a personal relationship with Christ, to seek His purpose and truth for their lives, and to expand God’s kingdom by being bold, fearless leaders and witnesses of Christ.

CORE VERSE

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is -
​his good, pleasing and perfect will.
​Romans 12:2

OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH

The Bible    
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. We believe it is the ultimate source of truth and authority for all Christians. We believe the Bible is without error.                (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:21)
The Trinity
We believe in the one, true God, eternally existent in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19)
The Father    
We believe God the Father is the creator of the universe. We believe He is infinite and all-knowing and He desires a personal relationship with all people. (Genesis 1:1)
The Son    
We believe Jesus Christ is God’s son. He was born to a virgin, lived a sinless life, and through His death and resurrection we have salvation. We believe He ascended to the right hand of the Father and will someday return to reign on earth. (John 10:30, Matthew 1:23, Hebrews 4:15, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, Mark 16:19, Matthew 24:30)
The Holy Spirit    
We believe the Holy Spirit was sent by God to show people their need for Christ. We believe He lives in all who have accepted Christ as their Savior and provides power and guidance for doing what is right according to Scripture. (1 Corinthians. 6:19-20)
Salvation    
We believe people are justified by faith alone in Jesus Christ, saved by God’s grace and transformed by the Holy Spirit. (Ephesians 2:8-10, Titus 3:5)
Resurrection    
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: the saved to eternal life and the lost to eternal death. (John 5:28-29)
The Church    
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in Jesus Christ. (Galatians 3:26-28)
Marriage &  Sexuality      
We believe that God has established marriage as a lifelong, exclusive relationship between one biological man and one biological woman and that all intimate sexual activity outside the marriage relationship, whether heterosexual, homosexual, transgender, bi-sexual, queer, or otherwise is immoral and therefore sin (Genesis 2:24-25; Exodus 20:14, 17, 22:19; Leviticus 18:22-23, 20:13, 15-16; Matthew 19:4-6, 9; Romans 1:18-32; I Corinthians 6:9-11, 15-20; I Timothy 1:8-11; Jude 7).
We believe that God created the human race male and female and that all conduct with the intent to adopt a gender other than one’s birth gender is immoral and therefore sin (Genesis 1:26-27; Deuteronomy 22:5).
